Why cant you connect as soon as you open ARES? Did you try the new version, it was out some 2 days ago only. 1.0.7 works like charm and connects fast within seconds..

The older version was buggy and had connectivity issues, and hence they got the new version.

Anyways how long will it take to d/l the softie? It's just only 1.5mb.

ares not connecting

well i also have the same problem, i had ares 1.8.6 regular and the lite edition but none of them connected. u sure their is a 1.0.7 version , bcuz i searched google and it said their's none by that version. also i have sp1 sp2 installed on my system and norton 2005 and initially i thought it was because of them that ares wasn't connecting. i am on a rim connection so i don't think theirs anybody fiddling with my ports. bear share and kaaza connect but ares doesn't. also whever i connect bearshare, norton pops up a security threat and continues to do so even though i have permited in norton options to allow bearshare always.

It is 1.8.7 yes , they simply forgot to edit the installer.

geforce4, try the new version.. it's new but they forgot to edit the version in the installer.

limewire rocks

By far the best p2p I've seen is limewire. Agreed that you get a lot of p*rn, but still, I've managed a lot of rare songs and some apps. Torrents tend to be slow for me, and the stuff on rapidshare takes ages. What say we start a poll on p2p??

bear share

bear share's better then kaaza and ares, also c*ack*d pro version doesn't seem to have any spyware, and i ain't thinking about torrents till i get a leased line...lol

This bearware, limeware, Sharaeza are all connected to the same network, whcih is gnutella 2/1, if I am correct.

If yes, why do you see the client? I like tsa and ARES. But nothing like AREs, it's the best. Using it for a very long time.
But tsa or ARES depends on what I need to download :D

ares..??lemme think..umm..NO!

i agree ares network is presently cleaner then anyother, but what used to drive me mad with ares was that... say after downloading 100 mb it wud start uploading the partial files eating away my bandwidth and the downloads will become snails race. although i heard their is this tool to stop ares uploading partial files automatically but before i tried it ares didn't connect anymore..lol. and i saw the difference between limewire and bearshare rite before my eyes...when bear share downloaded a file in half an hour while limewire took 44 minutes to do it. and i think i shud mention in both the progz i connected to the same 4 hosts knowingly.
