The world of P2P file sharing application is continuously evolving and rising. That's because it's much more efficient to share and transfer files and folders using this technology than using FTP or HTTP. There are numerous P2P networks worldwide, which offer you access to a multitude of file types, like music, videos, photos, games, software and so on. But in order to benefit from this technology, you first need a P2P file sharing application. There are a lot of such programs on the market, but few of them have the functionality and the simplicity of the Ares application.

This simple Windows program offers you access to the large world of file sharing, allowing you to download almost any type of file using a single click. Installing the program can be done in a very easy way, just by following the step by step installation wizard. Using the program is also simple, as its interface has a graphical form and it's intuitive to use.

After installing and running the program, the user just needs to type the name of the file he would like to search and, optionally, select the type of content he is looking for, which can be audio, video, images and so on. Choosing one of these categories can narrow the search results. After finding the desired file, the user can easily download it just by double clicking on it. Alternatively, he can use the Download feature from the context menu.

Ares allows downloading an unlimited number of files at the same time. Besides that, certain types of files can be previewed directly in the interface before they are downloaded, for example, music files. This will allow the user to make sure that the found file is exactly the one he is looking for. The program's tabbed interface also includes a chat feature, which allows one to communicate with the users whom he got the files from. There are also numerous channels where one can enter and chat, similar to the ones included in the IRC network.

Using the Control Panel feature, the user can configure every aspect of the program's functionality. For example, he can modify the port and the maximum number of files that can be downloaded at the same time. Besides that, one can also customize the file saving folder.

Pros

It allows downloading almost any kind of file, by using a simple file search tool which includes several categories. Besides that, more files can be downloaded at the same time. Furthermore, there are many chat rooms available directly in the interface. What's more, the Control Panel includes a lot of options for customizing the program's functionality.

Cons

Some beginners may have trouble configuring the program's settings, especially the ones related to networking. Ares allows anyone to find any desired file in a large file sharing network and also to chat in numerous chat rooms, all in a very simple and intuitive interface.
