I wish they would drop dead links faster, I feel like 20% of the results I click on get 404 or the server is straight up down.

There is a lot of Internet to crawl

True, maybe just a report dead link button on the results page would be the way to go.

That would get abused. You click it and it gets queued to check its status and you're right back to crawling.
