From AresGold
Ares Gold is a free file sharing program that builds on the latest P2P technology to offer a unique and exciting user experience.
Ares Gold completely eliminates the performance problems that have plagued other P2P networks like Ares Galaxy and LimeWire. Within seconds Ares Gold brings up thousands of MP3, movie, image, and other media files that can be downloaded fast from multiple sources. Ares Gold also features a media library and built-in media player for enjoying your MP3 and movie files.
The Ares network offers a great variety of MP3, movie, image, and other media files. Ares Gold shares with Ares Galaxy, LimeWire, and all Gnutella clients.
When it comes to download speeds Ares Gold outperforms Ares Galaxy, LimeWire, and other P2P file sharing programs by simultaneously downloading from multiple sources and optimizing the use of bandwidth.
Ares Gold lets you organize your MP3, movie, and other media files in easy to browse categories. You can also add relevant information to your files like artist, album, year, and genre.
Ares Protection Keep Out Viruses
Some files are infected with computer viruses like worms and trojans. These viruses, if allowed access to your computer, can delete files, corrupt your operating system, or even cause permanent hardware damage.
To protect you from unwittingly contaminating your computer with a virus, Ares Gold does not allow you to launch certain file types (e.g. .exe, .bat, .vbs, and .bin) from within the application. In addition, Ares Gold can be configured to filter out suspicious files from the search results.
However, the best way to keep your computer protected is to always scan new files with an up-to-date virus scanner.
Ares Privacy Protect Your Privacy
When you connect to a file sharing network you open part of your hard drive to thousands or even millions of other connected users.
The part of your hard drive that is visible to other users of Ares Gold is limited to your download folder. The default download folder is located in the Ares Gold installation folder (e.g. C:Program FilesAres GoldDownloads).
You should never add private files to your download folder. This includes emails, financial statements, photos, medical records, and other documents that could reveal sensitive information about yourself or your family.
Ares Legal Use Respect Intellectual Property
If you share copyright protected files such as songs, movies, or books, without the consent of the copyright holder, you can be held liable for copyright infringement.
Recently the RIAA and a number of performing artists have succesfully sued users of file sharing programs for allowing other users to download copyrighted songs from their computer. Many of these cases have been settled out of court for thousands of dollars.
It is your responsability to use Ares Gold within the legal boundaries of your country's intellectual property laws.
Ares Content Filters Filter Out Inappropriate Content
Ares Gold can be configured to filter out files that contain adult content. This is especially useful when you allow other family members to use Ares Gold on your computer.
