Pretty Good
I have used Ares for a couple of months now, it has pretty much the same interface as Kazaa Lite. Doesn't find as many song matches as Kazaa, because there are usually only 150,000 - 200,000 people online at a time, compared to Kazaa's 3 million, which also means the downloads are sometimes slower. On my 56k modem the total download speed is usually around 5 - 6 kbps, whereas kazaa will give up to 10 sometimes. Quite a few of the songs I have downloaded off Kazaa have come out with glitchy bits in them, I have never had this with Ares so far. Ares has an integrated chat, which K-Lite doesn't have, where you can host your own chatrooms if you wish. Over all I think it is quite good, and I have stopped using Kazaa now unless I need to find a rarer song, video, or software.
