Folks: Alen Peacock wrote to me to point out that adler32 has poor behavior for small files, and that small files are important. Separately, I realized that my "8 bits of adler32 of first 8192 bytes" wasn't that great of a design to minimize the privacy risks.
Also, Brian Warner wondered aloud if dupfilefind could take a list of arguments which are the names of directories to examine. Therefore, I've uploaded a new version of dupfilefind -- v1.2.0 -- which emits the first 8 bits of the md5sum of the whole file, and which takes an optional list of directories to inspect. The output from dupfilefind v1.2.0's "--profiles" option is not comparable to the output from dupfilefind v1.1's "--profiles" option, so please send me the new version. If you have easy_install, you can upgrade with "easy_install -U dupfilefind". I'll compare all the compressed files that people send in and post the results. If I don't reply to your e-mail please re-send, as I may have failed to notice it in the tide of spam. Thanks!
