Another helpful tool to find bad URLs is WebWhacker, it will explore a site for you & download every page so you can cruise it locally, which is nice, but the important feature (for me) is that it keeps track of bad URLs and marks them in red so it is easy to copy them (nice Mac feature - you can drag the bad URL right into a Stickie without having to copy & paste) You can get a demo at http://www.ffg.com/whacker.html - it's already saved me several hours of hand checking links. >MOMspider is a spider that goes through pages to check >the validity of their links.
