site explorer lets you combine other terms to get better result. eg -site: lets you exclude a domains internal links, in i think by doing searches with a few terms like “-inurl:a” then combining and removing duplicates you can get around the 1000 backlink limit

@oscar
try the code to stop crashes:

while ( ($currentpos++ >= 0) && ( (($currentpos-1)*$linksperrequest+$startposition) < 999) ) {

works fine for me.
