Ares software runs on the huge Ares and , and this means that its users have access to a massive library of shared files. Not only is the implementation of the software novel and efficient, the use of the interface has been carefully thought out and caters for experts and newcomers alike. The software is well maintained by a group of enthusiastic programmers, and the fact that Ares received awards from prestigious on-line magazines comes as no surprise to anyone that has used it.



The decision to has being taken by many millions of people, and it is thanks to user friendly software like Ares that this is possible. Older methods of file sharing were - by virtue of them being complex, technical and rather unfriendly - only within the grasp of those people, normally younger members of society, who were willing to invest considerable time to learn. With this is not longer the case, and the proliferation into more diverse areas of the population has only served to fuel Ares' skyward trajectory.

Sales of downloaded music are set to overtake CD sales in 2012, according to official reports. It is notable that these reports do not take into account the sharing and downloading of music from peer-to-peer networks; many sources suggest that if these figures were considered then overtaking maneuver would have come and gone some time ago.

File sharing once had a rather bad reputation, especially amongst the media whose opinions were funded by those who thought that they stood to lose most from free music downloads. Opinion across the board has now changed and some of the biggest opponents to the file sharing movement - Sony BMG et al - have leaped into business with organizations seeking to develop free music into a financially viable industry. Make no mistake: file sharing is here to stay, and Ares will no doubt be leading the charge well into the future.
