I find it useful for finding that I have four copies of a 50MB pdf in different folders, that kind of thing. If I want to free a few gigabytes of diskspace without too much mental effort then a scan to see what the biggest files that I have more than one copy of can work for me.
It is Windows only and closed source.
I presume it calculates a hash for every file then compares the hashes.
I would like a version that I can run on Linux and that nicely handles things like filenames with unusual characters.
