Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Contents
Why should I chose Ares?
Ares is currently the most popular and robust P2P (Peer-to-Peer)
program available. It is already available for Windows 7, as well
as Windows Vista and Windows XP.
Sorry, at this time we don't offer Ares for MAC or for Linux.
Why would I download from this web site?
Ares.com is the oldest existing website related to Ares. You can
download through us in confidence that you are safe from Adware,
Spyware, viruses, and deceptive business practices.
Ares.com offers what we believe is the best (perhaps the only safe
and working) Ares product for P2P, giving you peace of mind and
access to millions of shared files, including music, video, and
pictures.
Why is this product not free?
The original Ares was free, and open source. The creator of Ares
found out the hard way that such a popular product requires quite
a lot of maintenance and support to keep millions of users online
and satisfied with their experience; this can't be provided
without an adequate infrastructure.
So when you pay for this product, you are ensuring that you will
have a successful, satisfying experience - or get your money
back. You are paying to have the best product and the all the
support you will need.
Is there a "free" Ares?
Yes, there are several "free" versions of Ares out there. But we
say "free" not Free, because you are paying indirectly:
- The original
Ares web site offers a free product, but often it
does not work at all, and it offers no support
- Several websites offer a "free" Ares download, but these are
riddled with spyware, adware, and viruses -- so you pay in the
end when your identity is stolen or your computer crashes (or
both!)
So, while there are "free" versions, there isn't a version that
won't cost you one way or the other!
Where do I find support?
You can find support for Ares here.
Is this the right Ares?
"Ares" is a fairly common name in the Internet, both as an
acronym (i.e., initials) and for many things inspired by the
Greek god, Ares.

I can't connect!

from.
