Ares downloads offer music, videos, and video games; all free. With 30 million user's worldwide and 100 million titles to choose from, if you can't find what you are looking for, my guess is it doesn't exist.

The ares download site is built for easy, fast installation, and effortless connectivity. This open source peer-to-peer network makes downloading a piece of cake. Because it's open source, it's free. Yes, free! And getting around in the site is easy because it was designed with the newcomer or not so newcomer in mind. This is awesome and a whole lot of fun.

When you get into the site, you'll be able to connect with music lovers like yourself through the chat rooms and instant messaging features of the site. You can chat and instant message with others from all four corners of the world. It's truly a music lover's community with accomplished music aficionados to baby step beginners waiting to share their musical interests. You'll be able to swap titles, give recommendations, and share files.

File sharing is safe, as long as you always remember a few things. As you may or may not know, when you share files you are, in essence, allowing others to view everything you have stored there -- everything. It's wise to pay close attention to what you file and are willing to share.

It's always best practice to never put any personal information, i.e. personal home address or account numbers or anything that could open you up nasty things like identity theft or a potentially embarrassing situation. Just use your head, and remember on a peer-to-peer network with shared files anyone can read the information, friend or foe alike.
