Q.I've paid for Ares, can I have a refund?

Why do you want a refund? Does the software not work on your computer? Sure. Do you just want something for free? No.

Q.Does Ares contains spyware or adware?

No! Ares is an opensource project and as such doesn't install any form of adware, spyware or malware software. Unfortunately some websites do distribute ad/spyware bundled versions of Ares, therefore we advise you to download the latest version of Ares here at AresDestiny.com or at Ares official site.

Q.Is Ares Gold any better than regular Ares?

We highly doubt it. Ares Gold is known as an adware version of Ares, as a matter of facts there's a huge selection of Ares clones (Ares Pro,Gold,Ultra,Official,Turbo,Faster to name a few). These programs are usually adware-bundled versions of Ares and are not to be trusted. Please note: we aren't affiliated to officialares.com which despite its name is NOT the official source for Ares.

Q.Where can I find source code?

Q.How do I share my files with other users?

Go to Control Panel section, select Filesharing tab and chose to start an autoscan, wait till the scan completes and select one or more folders to share, finally hit apply.

Q.Where do all my downloaded files go to?

You can choose the location of your downloaded files by going to "Ares Control Panel->Transfer->Download folder", the default download location is "C:\Program Files\AresDestiny\My Shared Folder" on Windows98-ME and "C:\Documents and Settings\YourName\Local Settings\Application Data\AresDestiny\My Shared Folder" on Windows XP-Vista. Pay attention: Ares won't copy your previously downloaded files to the new folder if you change the location, also keep in mind that you have to restart Ares to apply new settings.

Q.Why do some things take so long to download?

The speed at which a download takes place is limited by both the bandwidth of the downloader and by the bandwidth of the uploader. A document cannot by transferred faster than the uploader is capable of sending it, nor can it be transferred faster than the downloader is capable of receiving it. To Maximise transfer speed chose search results having more than 2 yellow stars and configure your firewall/router to allow traffic through Ares' data port (your data port is in control panel->transfer->Accept incoming connections on port:).
