 Sammy: Seems to work very well finding duplicates and relatively fast also. [2007-07-27 06:33]

 Chris: I'm such a packrat... and this software proves it! :) [2007-07-27 07:42]

 Psytechnic: This is quite an interesting application in that the people who will be using it the most will probably be people with bloadted movie/music/porn archives...

Still, I downloaded, used and recommend it... It's like a single matchstick, you never know when you'll need it, and when you do need it, you'll need it bad... [2007-07-29 20:36]

 Local: A nice clean GUI and very easy to use.

I still find myself gravitating towards clonespy though.
Although this does have quite a few advantages over it.

I suggest if you have lots of picture files or have found clonespy useful in the past to give this a test run.

But remember that movie and music duplicates encoded in even slightly different ways will not be picked up as identical [2007-08-09 06:33]

 Lele: This software is perfect, even if it seems no more updated, he has more features and completly portable: http://www.clonespy.com/?Download [2007-10-19 15:27]

 mbirth: For freeing up some space on the main drive, you could use something like http://www.sentex.net/~mwandel/finddupe/ which will hardlink duplicates so that a file exists in all locations but occupies space on disk only once. [2007-10-22 01:34]

 Perfectus: Lele, CloneSpy is a good software, but it doesn't support unicode. So CloneSpy is useless for japanese, chinese and arab users. Easy duplicate finder supports unicode filenames. [2007-10-22 06:25]

 a: very useful duplicate finder, cleaned up a vast amount of duplicate pictures with it, yay! [2007-12-06 08:24]

 nmout: it is not freeware [2008-05-17 09:15]

 Samuel: I prefer DoubleKiller
http://www.bigbangenterprises.de/en/doublekiller/
it's portable and it allows u to delete the first copies or the last copies. [2008-05-18 03:31]

 Malkovich: nmout: Yes, it is freeware!

Samuel: Easy Duplicate Finder also allows you to delete the first copies or the last copies and have many other options. [2008-05-19 21:43]

 Kermode: Well it works, but its a terrible interface. [2008-06-18 19:46]

 jkl;: I am not sure that this a portable application, when i installed it showed up in my registry [2008-08-20 12:19]

 cab: Very good program. I found it very useful and faster than I could think! Useful when you recover files deleted accidentaly! [2008-12-21 04:51]

 Alildevil: Well, the old version 1.9 was freeware, but the 6 different versions after that havwe been shareware. And yes this one v 3.3 also asks you to register if you want to delete more than 20 duplicate files per day. I do not think nill have more than 20 things to delete once system si cleaned up nice, so it will suite my purpose as is. [2008-12-27 15:27]

 Rick: The latest version removes support for network drives. Not good. [2009-03-03 07:58]

 Allan: Very poor and slow application.
You can try this FREE tool that was recently featured on PCMagazine and ZDNet:
http://www.mindgems.com/products/Fast-Duplicate-File-Finder/Fast-Duplicate-File-Finder-About.htm - Fast Duplicate File Finder
Fast Duplicate File Finder will help you find fast all duplicate files in a folder and its sub folders.
The applications will compare the content of your files so it will find duplicates even if they are using different file names.
It uses fast binary comparison algorithm and has internal preview supporting a lot of image, video, music and text file formats. [2009-10-25 23:19]

 Nick: @Allan, Fast Duplicate File Finder is not portable:

 Sam McNiel: NOT Freeware. Should be removed from this site. [2010-05-23 02:26]

 Onesimus Prime: Softpedia says it has the portable version of 2.4 available for download:

 grannyGeek: @ Onesimus Prime, but when you click it, you get message "There is a newer version available", and it links you to the pay version on the Easy Duplicate Finder website. [2010-06-04 04:48]

 donald: Please note Onesimus Prime's link to Softpedia worked for me.

I clicked the first mirror, the US mirror.

I got a functional 2.4

Also note that the last two links list version 1.44 which are for older PCs. [2010-06-14 02:13]

 donald: As the download link in the application listing is currently for the non free 3.004 which is at best a form of cripleware/registerware I will update to the know working link. [2010-06-14 02:18]

If your virus scanner has detected a virus in the application, please email the author directly or post to the forum. Note that false positives (i.e. flagging a virus when there is actually none) are extremely common for virus scanners. When in doubt, try an online scanner like Online Malware Scanner or VirusTotal, which scans files using multiple anti-virus engines. It is very likely to be a false positive if only a few engines raise the red flag.
