Downloading U: drive files full of duplicates

firedancer · 07-02-2008, 06:50 PM

Hi everyone!

I have an external U: drive with over 700 GIGS of information on it. I want to download the files on it onto my standard hard-drive, but the U: drive mostly consists of duplicate files (which is why it's so HUGE!).

Is there a program that you know of or Run command where I can download the files but automatically delete any duplicates?

Thanks so much!!

If you are using a Windows operating system, it will ask you if you want to replace or skip the files when copying to your local drive. Just choose skip and it will only copy the new files.

but sometimes when it downloads it will do like download.zip and then the second one will be download(2).zip
