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 Vista is the most advanced version of Ares, and the only one we currently recommend. All older versions are having problems connecting to the network. Ares Vista has developed an advanced technique to automatically generate an updated list of snodes to use, so is not having this problem.

Ares is a peer to peer file sharing program that allows users to share any digital file including images, audio, video, software, documents, etc. You may now easily publish your files through the Ares decentralized network. As a member of the virtual community, you can search and download just about any file shared by other users. With Ares you can also join chat rooms or host your channel and meet new friends.
