Thanks to commenter Hank Friedman for pointing to LinkChecker. I had been looking for something less cryptic than Xenu's Link Sleuth for years.

Review article:
Best Free Web Site Link Checker
Pros:
Does everything you'd expect a link checker to do, including capturing the parent page where each broken link was found. Recursion depth is adjustable. Can be run from the command line. Works with local or online file sets. Easy to read summary results for each link checked.
Cons:
Not much content in the help file (but the user interface and results readout are both straightforward).
Product type:
Runs as a stand-alone program on a user's computer
