#COUNTER STRIKE DOWNLOAD 1.6 FREE DIGEST ALGORITHM SHA1 INSTALL#
Loaded GFWM (direct from Start Menu) and checked my Game/DLC status, it was not correct.First up, check how many files don't have a regular extension: Now to figure out what kinds of file are in the location you're analysing. The last two numbers should sum equal the first number, if not, you've probably got some links or special file types in the location you're analysing. Sanity checks, to verify results later, how many and what types of objects are we dealing with? The first challenge was to generate a list of files to work with, I went with generating a list of file extensions for a given location, so I could see what types of files I was dealing with.
I've checked tens of thousands of files with Alldup, of many flavours and sizes and its works FAST! The results are so easy to work with too!įreeware also worth mentioning, but not tested is Duplicate Cleaner.īefore I found AllDup, my approach was as follows, which should work with bash under Cygwin, Linux and OS X. There are many features and implementations in this program where I have thought "that's probably how I would of done it", which is why I like it so much and highly recommend you check it out. The results window is the best I've seen, very powerful. The GUI is fantastic, and made perfect sense to me. The freeware Alldup is everything I can think of, that a duplicate file manager needs to be, with whistles and bells on! Alldup even stopped me overzealously nuking some MP3's by intelligently checking "are you really sure you want to do that?" I did not test YADFR but it looks like it has potential. Yet Another Duplicate File Remover was also mentioned on the su thread and I came across it when Googling too. What a great tool and its freeware. Props to Synetech inc su user for introducing me! This su thread lead me to discover Michael Thummerer's AllDup. Googling also revealed a duplicate file finder thread on super user, feel free to check it out. There is also DUFF (windows), which looks like it has potential but sounded buggy and I didn't try it. On the positive side the GUI has a lot of promise. I cannot recommend DUMP3, out of the box it was sooooo slow I gave up.
The file counts seemed to be a little off too :( I didn't use it in the end. I would be happy to learn of other open tools for this kind of work.ĭFF seemed to work, but personally I didn't get on very well with the results window, especially with a lot of results. With all respect to the authors work on their projects, they didn't do it for me. I tried a few open source tools including Duplicate Files Finder (windows) and DUMP3 (java). For me, this spans Windows, Macs and Linux systems.ĭocumented here are some of my findings, useful commands, and programs I have been using to look for duplicate files. Recently I have been consolidating my files and backups in an attempt to centralise my backup efforts, and to also optimise hard drive usage and reduce data duplication.
