[matthew]

[sexybabe]

I have downloaded it over and over again and it still says connecting. I'm getting kinda annoyed. (i.e. my screenname)

...Mine is working fine..good luck everyone

[PHAA-Q]

I had the same problem with Ares trying to connect, I installed the latest version without un-installing the previous one - that seems to have cured the problem. Thank-you everybody!!

That just works temporally. I did that and the problem kept coming back... unistall ares and then install the new version, or ull have to install ares every time until ur cure wont work anymore

[IsItRainingWhereYouAre]

Is this been fixed yet? My ares has been basically outta commission for the past 2 weeks as I am not able to connect either. What's going on?

[nunya]

Yup Ares used to be great and now its a load of shit..Im going to Shareaza

[Guest]

[jeffrey_atkins]

ares is taking too long to connect on my computer. i have mozilla firefox on my computer.does firefox have anything to do with the connecting speed?

Ares stoped working for me about a week ago, I thought it just needed an upgrade so I downloaded and installed Ares (full) Version 1.8.1 Build 2965 but it will not connect still.

I installed over the old verion, then I unistalled the old and installed the new, the I unistalled again and deleated the reg files and installed the new one again.

Still nothing is happening, Could someone give me some feed back on this?
Is the ares network down?
Is ares just crap now?
Am I just a loser?
Should I go for a new p2p program?

Thankyou

i had the same problem when connecting....also i downloaded and installed version 1.8.1 build 2965 but ares was never able to connect....
downloaded ares lite build 2962 and installed it and now eerything seems to be working ok.....at least it went online in less than a minute....got the installer from this page:
http://dock.ca/downloads.php
hope that helps
BTW I was using ares lite to begin with and installed build 2965 without uninstall the other version

[ColdFire2K]

I also have resolved my problem now.

I installed lime wire, kazaa ressurection and kazaa media desktop to see if they where any better but i didnt like them so i unstalled all that crap then deleated my reg files again and deleated the 2965 installer i had downloaded before, then downloaded a new copy of the ares installer build 2965 and now...

Everything seems to be working fine, it take about 30sec to a min to connect.

hmmm guest - your not very entertaining, at least when KM spams its kinda funny/sad, your clearly just a bored f**k.

[SteMan]

Ares not connecting and neither is my KaZaa...

I wonder if P2P programs are having problems ?

[Jefryslash]

Just Basicaly download the latest Version and keep on
Opening and closing it till it works
Thier Networks is messed up

[Jimbo]

Hello i have also downloaded the new update, and mine is still not working, please can you give some adivce, but 4 stupid people like me, cos its difficult to follow! thnx

[Impheatus]

Just download the latest build of Ares from their official website and wait 'till it connects, it may vary between 30 secs and 5 min or something like that but it WILL connect, just be patient.

[damnares]

The latest versions of ares is packed with adware. May also have spyware.....i am not downloading em.

There is a port that needs to be opened for ares to work properly but i never had to do that......so i think the problem is with ares servers and not the users....i think they are doing this on purpose to force users to get the new version packed with adware........

[Cure]

As someone has already said here, just delete any large files from the Library!

It worked fine for me...I deleted all the software I had downloaded (I say "all", it was only two programs ) and it went from saying "connecting..." to "online" almost instantly.

I recommend that you try the same before downloading updates and new programs etc...

[MatiasHG]

Remove the Connect At Startup option, in the configuration.

I solve the problem with this.

Sorry for my English (I'm From Argentina)

Cya!

[Putterson]

Deleting large files such as photoshop from my folder from within ares made it work again.

[i_am_king]

yeah... its a good song though

Clearly alot of you are used to MX or a different kind of P2P, when theres a problem on Ares, its fixed immediately, that can mean several BUILDS per week, ares has versions ( 1.8.1 ) then builds ( 1.8.1:2966 ) when you have a problem with ares conencting, or files not finishing get the latest BUILD immediately , Ares galaxy's website only list the VERSION ( 1.8.1 ) but they will always have the latest BUILD on there website. http://www.seekar.com/setup_ares.exe this is the direct link for the latest BUILD, close your Ares, install over, it will retain your current settings. you can find what build you have by going to C:\Program Files\Ares then right clicking the Ares.exe Properties / Version, the latest Build is 2966, these come out rapidly so youll need to stay on top of it, Ares has grown very rapidly and continues to grow daily, the Coder for ares Comet Seekar keeps on top of issues, and resolves them by issuing new BUILDS, ares is a great network, i encourage you all to try it, ive hosted there for 2 years, and cant complain 1 bit. Just remember to update Ares at the first sign of trouble.

[hell boy]

mine is having a problem conecting too
this stinks
