subject: Ares Vista Is By Far, The Best P2p File Sharing Program. [print this page] Ares Vista Pro takes off where the original Ares Vista left off in mid 2008. You see, Ares Vista was merely a 'backburner' concept until the owners of the official Ares site provided the owner with a rebrand. Unfortunately, the owner of the Ares Vista site does not maintain Ares Vista any longer. Ares Vista Pro was launched by the original Ares developers to provide users with a version of Ares that is constantly maintained for the very difficult to please, Windows Vista OS. Ares Vista Pro now comes with a cool new skin, which was chosen by popular vote of users who wanted a similar look to match the Windows Vista Aero theme.
As anyone who has used Ares with the Vista OS, it is very easy to tell that the original skins did not function properly, and that they were even garbled and mostly resembled the Ares 1.9.9 release from 2005. UGH!
Amid all the changes to the original Ares software in 2009, Ares Vista Pro features its own slew of updates geared towards compatibility with Windows Vista. However, even if you have started using Windows 7, this Ares release is also tailored and tweaked for usage on that platform as well. So don't fret, give it a try for yourself!
Some of the basic internal changes to the program include a title change, new Support FAQ, new skins. Some advanced changes include, but are not limited to, a completely rewritten chat server. The new chat server is much faster and makes use of different network elements to fetch, creates and moderate rooms. Ares Vista Pro now supports personification of username profiles. You may now personalize your profile by uploading an avatar and choosing other personal preferences, so you can finally make your staple in the Ares community!
All new versions are constantly kept up-to-date with the strongest nodes possible. This ensures that everyone who is either downloading the software for the first time or haven't used the program in a while can always connect to the Ares Network, fast and without hiccups. If for any reason you cannot connect to the Network, you need to either check your firewall and security settings, or in some cases, restart the program. Although only the best nodes are used, sometimes if you are in an opposite location from the connecting node, it will be quicker to hop nodes by restarting Ares Vista Pro, as odds are you will snag a new node that is closer to your location.
