Brokenlinks is a tool to help you find and track broken links on your
website, namely URLs that no longer point to anything useful.  It is a
back end to the Xenu Link Sleuth broken link detector that compensates for
Xenu’s weakness of overwhelming you with reports of links that are not
really broken.
Brokenlinks retests ostensibly broken links and maintains a database of
link integrity history.  It partly compensates for various bugs and
deficiencies in Xenu.
Brokenlinks automatically repairs links that have been redirected,
correcting your HTML to point to the new URL.
BrokenLinks typically discovers that only 1% of the links Xenu reports as
broken actually need to be repaired.  99% of them are just down
temporarily or fail Xenu's quick probe, but pass BrokenLink's more patient
test that more accurately simulates what a real browser does.
TidyURLs cleans up all the hrefs= and src= on your website.  This help
ReplaceURLs work properly.
ReplaceURLs patches URLs in your local website files to the new redirected
values that BrokenLinks finds.
The Brokenlinks manual at:

explains in more detail what it is for and how to use it.
I M P O R T A N T !
This version of BrokenLinks only works with a special version of Xenu
that exports numeric status codes.
You can get it from either:

or

Why the scissors logo?  It is a temporary logo until I can find a decent
broken link icon.  It represents a link being cut/broken.
