same problem for me...ARES light to me hasn't worked worth squat lately for some strange reason!

I use Ares 1.81. It won't even connect any more. But I agree, Limewire is pretty good.

exactly......downloads hang at 99%.............I've been using KCeasy lately.

Don't get me wrong....I'll go back to Ares when it is fixed....I like it.

Do not use the light version, as it appears it has crap in it you cant opt out of, unless they have corrected this in newer releases. Also if it hangs at 99% ypu probably have a corrupted download. Cancel it, and retry it from a couple of different sources.
