Ares is a free, open-source file sharing application and software that allows users to share files over the internet with other users. It uses a peer-to-peer (P2P) network to connect to other users, and is available for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android. It is capable of searching for, downloading, and sharing files including audio, video, images, documents, and more. Ares also provides an integrated media player for playing audio and video files, as well as a built-in chat feature for communicating with other users on the network. It also includes a library for organizing files, and a built-in scheduler to control unattended downloads.
