Recent connection problems solved
The CNodes that all versions of Ares use for the initial connection to the network have been
overloaded lately and users have had problems making the initial connection to the network.
We have developed an advanced technique to automatically generate an updated list of cnodes to use for the initial connection.

Ares is an open-source file sharing application origionally developed in 2002. Since then, many other versions have evolved, but all share the same network, communications protocol, and user base.Unfortunately, the new Windows Vista operating system has increased security that interferes with all previous versions of Ares , as well as most other P2P (peer to peer) filesharing applications. As a result, many users have had serious problems using any P2P file sharing application with windows Vista.
Some filesharing programs try to get around the problem by directing the user to turn off the UAC, which is a crucial part of Vistas increased security.
Microsoft spent a lot of effort on the new security features. Do you really want to operate your P2P filesharing in a less secure environment? Of course not.
