I just downloaded the latest version of ares onto my computer.  My next step is figuring out how to use it.  I’m not especially familiar with file sharing software.  I have used bittorrents before but I’m not sure how that works either.  I wonder if you have to have the program actually open and running in order to upload to other users or if that happens passively.  I’ll also need to take some time to browse what is available for me to download.  I guess I have a new research project in front of me learning about this software’s capabilities.
