Ares Free Download

In 2002 the origional version of Ares was developed as an open-source software project, which means that the source code is freely available for anyone to modify. As a result, several different versions of Ares are now available, but all use the same network and files are shared between users with different versions. The menu layout and appearance (the “skin”) is the main difference.

The most important feature of the versions we recommend below is customer support. By their very nature, all P2P filesharing applications are prone to erratic behavior at times, and having someone to call or email for help is a big plus.

You should also be aware that there are some Ares scam sites that offer a free Ares download, but bundle the file sharing software with Spyware or adware. The versions of Ares we recommend below all have excellent customer support, and are certified by download.com as being free of any adware.

Ares Vista

Ares Vista Was developed in late 2007, specifically to work with the increased security features of Windows Vista, that have been causing havoc for users of other version of Ares and other P2P filesharing programs.

Unlike Limewire, Bittorrent, or Napster, Ares was developed as an open-source application, so there are no corporate owners for the RIAA to target, and development of the system has not been halted with legal problems. Ares is easy to use, quick to connect, with very fast download speeds. Because Ares is the most popular file sharing program, you find a lot better music selection, and more people to connect and share with. There are over 100 million titles available to download on the network.
Ares is the best choice for most filesharing needs, particularily for music files. For sharing of very large files such as movies, the Bittorrent protocol is better. While Ares does support the Bittorent protocol, it is not designed specifically for that purpose. Links to the most popular programs that use the bittorrent client are below.
* Azureus   * BitTorent
* Limewire   * Suprnova
Some other popular filesharing programs are listed below. Check back later as we are finishing reviews of these,and the bittorrent clients listed to the left.
* Bearshare   * Morpheus
* Shareaza   * Imesh
