    There is two version and can be downloaded separately. The free version has enough features to become an alternative to WinDirStat. But is really user friendly.

    Simple, but very useful. You need to be comfortable with using command line, but it does what it needs to.

    Many servers are command-line only over ssh, so graphical tools are useless for those. This is a good tool to be able to see what is going on quickly and using only a ssh shell session.
