@Karen1573- there are some freebie link-checkers out there on the web that may automate some of the checking. I don't know what procedures you're using, but I do something of the same thing with my list (about 1,800 links, a vast majority from Freebies here). I have a listing of '404' sites (actually a database). If you like, IM me and I can send the 404's to you... it might speed things up. I know what you're going through, and you have my sympathies. Thanks for doing what you're doing.

I wish I'd said that.. The Staircase Wit
