My Maddenings

I have been a long-time user of Ares. I started with Ares Galaxy at the very beginning, and I moved through various other newer clients as featured on the Official Ares website. All the way through this wonderful journey I have always appreciated the simplicity of Ares, and above all the way that it just worked without too much prodding from me.

Recently, however, my confidence in the product has started to wane. I’m having problems connecting, you see, and it’s frustrating. Rather than fire up Ares every morning when I wake up and be able to enjoy the songs I downloaded by the end of the day, I was nervous as to whether the program would actually connect to the network. Not a nice situation to be in.

I put these problems down to the client I was using to start with, and swapped over to the newer Ares Vista. This worked well for a while, but wasn’t perfect, and even that started to degrade eventually. My disappointment was tangible.

A forlorn search of Google for a solution immediately came up trumps. Lots and lots of people were having exactly the same problem as I had, and some people that are cleverer than me had decided to put a stop to it. Thus came about the Genesis of Ares Connect.

Ares Connect is it bolt-on program that interacts with whatever Ares client you happen to be using; it doesn’t matter whether you’re using the older Ares Galaxy one of the newer versions like Ares Vista. And because it doesn’t replace anything your system, there is nothing to uninstall. The whole process is pretty easy, actually. I just wish I’d come across Ares Connect much earlier!

Well, hindsight, like Ares Connect, is a wonderful thing.
