Is your art folder a touch too large?

Then might I recommend a little program called VisiPics.
This program is available for free from download.com, and is specifically designed to find duplicate pictures with a user-defined strictness of comparison. Simply load the folder or folders, set your slider, and let it go to work. Its speed will depend on what else you have running and your hardware.
On my computer, it scanned nearly 55,000 pictures in 75 minutes. Unlike other programs that look by name or size or hash value, this will make comparisons between different file formats and resolutions. With its help, I cleared out nearly 800 MB of duplicate pictures, and you can too!
For all other files (except music, as I'm sure there are better programs out there), I would suggest using the aptly-named Duplicate Finder, also available on download.com.

Oh, that sounds like it does more than the FindDup program I wrote in Java. :3
