Ares

Ares, as thousands of people know, is one of the most popular P2P programs to download multimedia files and gain direct access to probably the largest file sharing community. It got separated itself from Gnutella in 2002, the year in which it started building a compact users database.

Its popularity has grown thanks to the speed and outstanding range of features it offers. From its metal black interface, you will be able to download any type of file including audio, video, images, games and applications. Not only that, but the program recently added a Bittorrent client, that´s right, now you can even download torrents without necessity of using another program, having as a result two of the best P2P networks under a single interface.

Ares is kind with beginners, as there is no need of complex configurations in order to start downloading. Actually, it is pretty easy, just go to the Search tab, enter the name of the file you wish to download and double click it. Once it begins downloading, you can check the progress over the Transfer tab. While files are downloading, you can use the program´s Preview screen to make sure that you are getting the files you are expecting. There are options to adjust the screen to your preferences.

If you like meeting people, Ares is also right with you, as it includes the Chat tab with hundreds of channels available where you can find other users and share ideas with them. Make use of emoticons and even create a list of your favourite channels.

That´s not it, Ares also allows you to listen to the radio while managing your files and downloading them. In fact, you can even surf the web without necessity of leaving the program, all thanks to a built-in web browser you can use to visit any web site.

Ares is very complete.
