Discontinued
The program seems to be no longer updated. Last version, 2.13, released in July 2012, is fully working and can be still downloaded from the official website.
This tool uses a sunburst chart to display the usage of your hard disk or other media. The chart shows all major files and folders from all directory levels at once.

I really like the sunburst charts that Scanner produces, over the tree view charts that Spacemonger and other alternatives produce. I find it's far superior to tracking down space hogs.
The GUI is a bit annoying though. The only way to make the window bigger or smaller, is by using the + and - buttons, and it only goes up to about 800x700 pixels. You can't maximize it, and you can't resize using the lower right corner of the window.
I've been using it for years, it's a very handy little app.
Try it out, it doesn't even need to be installed, just execute the .exe file.
Good portable program. I prefer it to WinDirStat because it's easier to work with quickly.
