CNET.co.uk Speed Pack: 7 free downloads for a faster PC

Duplicate File Finder
Many users end up with two of more versions of the same file. This happens regularly to ardent downloaders, who commonly leech different instances of the same file over P2P. This increases their chances of a successful download, but can also leave them with duplicates hogging precious space. 

Having plenty of disk space is important because your Windows PC uses a portion of the hard drive to temporarily store data that doesn't fit into physical RAM. If disk space is taken up by files that needn't be there, there's less room for Windows to play with.

Duplicate File Finder is a quick and easy way to identify which files you can delete in order to free up space, and possibly improve performance. Grab a copy here.
