What's the best free tool for checking for broken links?

I'm trying to find the best tool to check for broken links on our site. We have over 11k pages and I'm looking for something fast and thorough! I've tried Xenu and LinkChecker. Any other ideas?

If you're looking for something with a lot more SEO-specific functionality, it's definitely worth trying IIS Search Engine Optimization Toolkit 1.0:

I agree. Here's a link: http://home.snafu.de/tilman/xenulink.html It looks a little shady but it actually does a decent job.

Hey Kristi
Xenu is great and free, free I tells ya! But, if you can shell out a bit of dosh, the screaming frog is a better tool.
