Ares

[tonekvam]

:icon_scra I am experiencing some trouble with Ares!
I can not get it to connect to the internet. I also use LimeWire on my computer, but have no problems with that.
Can anyone help me??? Please

First, update ares to the latest version. Then, wait 5-10 minutes to see if it's connecting. Also, some people say the lite version have more problems so you might want to stick with the regular version.

[tonekvam]

I have downloaded the newest version many times, and it does not help. I use the regular version

Like we've been talking about in other threads......there simply is a problem with ares these days.........

Sometimes you've gotta wait a long time before it connects.....and lay back and wait for the files...because things aren't that speedy anymore.....

[rainbowdemon]

It won't connect for me either.

Now thats just wierd, as it has stopped working. Im downloading the new release to give it a try.

[The Hunter]

New version connected in 15 seconds.

If downloading the new version doesn't help then you have to use another p2p program.

According to this site, that is the only way to solve the problem.

Thank you guys for trying to help me.... there must be something wrong with my pc. the same sh...t happend when I downloaded DC++, Soulseek, Shareaza.

I also use LimeWire, and it works. But at terribly low speed. 4-10k at the most.

I use wierless connection with 1,5 mb adsl.

The other computers in my house does not have the same problem.

Hang in there until CPU, or Krell show up, as I have never used a wireless connection.

so here I am with "ARES" on my pc and I can't get rid of it. It won't find any downloads and now it won't delete. Who the hell reccomended this program and how do I get rid of it ? ADVICE...don't go there !

[tonekvam]

I kind of liked Ares... it had good speed and found what I was looking for (...as long as it lasted...)

Why is it you cant delete... I had no probs there. Just use the Intall/uninstall in control panel...

I've found some valuable information to help you.

If Ares still won't connect using the latest build, then here are some additional steps:

For a solution you can try:

1. uninstall and reinstall Ares applying Ares Connection fixer and using the latest Ares build

2. If that fails to work, you can try an older Ares build HERE or HERE. Note: you must clean out the registry of Ares registry keys before you can install an older Ares version. The Ares Connection fixer will also clean the registry of Ares keys.

3. Try Filecroc v.1.01 build 2942 This was the last version of Filecroc (an Ares clone) that did not have any spyware. Do not download the latest Filecroc from the official site, as it installs non-optional spyware.

4. Try KCeasy Although the multi-network P2Papplication KCeasy does not have Ares chat, it will connect to the Ares network, among others.

Ares Connection Fixer

This program will fix connection issues with Ares.

It has been proven to correct numerous issuse, and in its newest version (2.0) it is compatible with Ares and Ares Lite.

The following are several key versions that have been released. Click the version number to download the corresponding file in zip format.

Note: only the newest can be confirmed as totally reliable.

Download:Ares Connection fixer

The Ares Connection Fixer basically wipes out the Ares registry keys, allowing Ares (either the existing installation or a new installation) to regenerate fresh keys. Make sure that Ares is not running [Ares likes to hide in the system tray when you close the program] when you run the Connection Fixer, the fix won't work otherwise - and you might even corrupt your registry.

NOTE: As with the installer of any P2P application, ALWAYS uncheck all the boxes when you install Ares. (Navhelper and Navexcel Search Toolbar is spyware/adware; something you definitely don't want to install)

In Ares Control Panel, if "Auto connect to network when I start Ares" is not checked, then you must click the "Connect" icon every time you run Ares.

Unlike most applications, there is no "About" listing in Ares to tell you what version and build number you are running. To find out what build of Ares you have, locate the Ares.exe file (should be in C:Program FilesAres) and right-click on it, then click "Properties", then the "Version" tab.

My wireless laptop actually connects faster (less than a minute) than my regular puter. It takes several minutes sometimes (even longer). I thought at first it may have something to do with the firewalls I'm using but I don't think that anymore. Ares has slipped lately in connection time and the queues.

Here is my problem:
Using Ares 1.9.0.3007
Now, it won't connect. But it connects for my sister (Using Windows XP, have different sides)
It connects for her, and she can download, but not for me, it is always stuck on 'Connecting"!!
Any idea on why??

[lion7718]

Try updating to 1.9.2-3011

[Zorax]

Try updating to 1.9.2-3011
Yup, re-downloaded and it works :) Cheers :)

I prefer ares lite. But what do you guys recommend?

[lion7718]

Ares Lite is on the Old Network, it would be best to drop it & upgrade to the new Ares

[Aval0n]

Right. WIll do.
