Version 1.4 is freeware, distributed online as a 103Kb Pkzip archive—the program itself is a Windows 9x compatible standalone .EXE which needs no installer. It shows a treemap of files and lets the user open and delete individual files. Some users prefer its smaller size and relative simplicity to later versions.
Version 2.1.1 is shareware, (more specifically nagware), and requires a 1279Kb installer. Its code-base is a complete re-write,[1] and features file copy/move, animated zooming, new menu selections, commonly used tool buttons, and a faster scanning algorithm.
Steve Gibson has mentioned SpaceMonger twice on his internet radio show Security Now!.[2][3] During 2001–2004 Pricelessware included SpaceMonger in its list of best Windows freeware as selected by the readers of alt.comp.freeware. The June 2004 Maximum PC included SpaceMonger v1.40 on its CD-ROM.[4] Perhaps most SpaceMonger publicity comes from blogs, newsgroups, journalists[5] and word of mouth.
Spacemonger is no longer actively developed: The last releases were in 2006, aside from some minor bugfixes to the PHP script in 2007.
