Often times, the well known name brand is not the best product. Sometimes it’s not even the ballpark. Such is the case with the Ares P2P filesharing software. Ares Galaxy was the origional version, first distributed back in 2002. It soon became popular and spawned many imitators, some good, some bad. Over the years Ares Galaxy became established as the best, and no real contenders came close. But things change fast in the digital world. Several newer, more modern versions of Ares have sprung up in the past few years with advanced features, and better customer support (Ares Galaxy has no customer support). Ares Vista and Ares Ultra are the best of the modern versions. Meanwhile, the old standby Ares Galaxy has remained the same. Some of the new versions to stay away from are Ares Gold and Ares Destiny, both of which bundle Ares with adware. One thing they all have in common is that users of the different versions, including Ares Galaxy, all work on the same network, so users looking to download music have access to the millions of songs that are shared between users.
