Freezes up - Version: 2.2, 9/15/2009 07:11AM PST

I tried this program on a few smaller folders, and it worked fine. However, when I went into a bigger folder (Libraries, Photos, etc), the program would run for several hours just fine, but when I'd click on "Results", the program would appear to freeze. Leaving for an hour or two would not unfreeze it. Clicking on "Help" or "Contact The Author" doesn't work while frozen wither. I'll try a few more times with smaller files.

OK, so I click "Download Now" and I get a file named "uYPLmP7t.zip.part" and I double-click it and I get an error message saying: "There is no default application specified to open the document." So, I go to the developer's website and there's NO help there, and no way to contact them, of course, so, WTF do I do now? Aside from tossing this P.O.S. in the Trash and moving on, that is. (FWIW, I'm on a Mac running OS 10.4.11)

Having tried nearly all the commercial duplicate killers, I wasn't expecting much from this freeware offering. I was therefore very surprised when it performed much better than the commercial apps I'd tried. Very fast for one thing, even when doing a byte by byte comparison. No issues with Java on my iMac.

The only slightly untoward thing I noticed was that files really are deleted (not sent to the Trash). However, you can choose to move them to another folder if you prefer.

This is much too good to be free.
