If only that mod from brxner where still available.......

That website is gone and the whole thing pretty complex and confusing for the amateur i am,

How is the COMPLETE change to do, can you specify please, with my 6500 links i am just a bit to deep in as to go manually through all of them and i find hardly a simple solution here in the forum searches.

Also are server time outs an issue, my host has a "security" thing for such operations that simply time out after some minute or so, a staggered link verification mod would therefore help, if i just knew if this one works and how to install the whole thing everywhere where changes are necessary

Would this mod help?

According to the description, it verifies multiple links simultaneously.

well, that is at least something to try out - have you tried it, is it working???

I as a non scripter am puzzeld by stuff like this:

mod requires the CPAN module Parallel::ForkManager. The .zip file includes both the modified nph-verify.cgi file and a CVS diff. Note that the diff relates to a variant that makes use of libwww-perl.

Is this chinese??? (no, i know it's not, but it sounds to me almost like it).

I will now go and make an attempt on it but i sure wish the person that made it would have added a little setence about where exactly that CVG diff file has to be put in, so i simply asume it has to go into admin, but then again that might be totally wrong, i'll soon know more.

Why i post an answer already BEFORE having tested it is this:

(And i hope some of the regular super scripters in here see it too)

I came across this website: http://www.relsoftware.com/

wouldn't something like this do the job much better - if it was compatible with links2?????

Or, i also had the idea that maybe it would be possible to simply take the URL's out of "url.db" and somewhere on the web is a "multi URL tester" where they could all be dumped in and that site would run a check of all of them and the deadlinks could be marked for manual deletion later on in Links????

does anyone have luck to download this version of verify link scipt before http://lh.links247.net/ server goes down? if so can you share it with me you can send it to sensovision@softhome.net Thanks in advance!
