Yeah, I don't like the adware either and that's why I'm considering upgrading
to the Pro version which supposedly will remove all adware. But first I'm
going to research it a little more. I'm hesitant to pay money for software
like this since I got burned when I bought the Pro version of Limewire many
years ago. Limewire, believe it or not, actually worked with Jaws once upon a
time. Then they started making radical updates to the software that made the
software useless to Jaws users. I'd hate to pay money again for something like
Ares and then have it become unusable all of a sudden. I suppose there is no
real way to guarantee this won't happen. But I at least want to make sure
there are no other problems with it.

I'm sorry , I asumed the client was built off the ares source code. I've
found now that it's not, and frankly don't know what the ares people have to
complain about.
It seems to give good results, but as soon as you remove the
addware/spyware/whatever you call it, the program doesn't work.
the closest program to this based on UI is
http://www.filepipe.org
Does basicly the same thing, although it's not as accessible.
It's not a bad program IMO but the spyware isn't worth it,

Hi Brandon,
I went ahead and tried out the Ares Galaxy client that is found on the site
you listed and I have to say I didn't like it very much. You can use Jaws with
it but it's very awkward and not as accessible as I would like. I found that
Jaws worked much better with Ares P2P. While it's true that Ares is an open
source project and that it is generally free, open source does not prevent
someone from making modifications to the software and reselling it if they
wish. You only have to look as far as Linux to see proof of this. The only
requirement is that the individual selling their particular modified version
make their source code available to the open source community/public. I did
some searches on Google and some of the other popular P2P oriented web
magazines and I haven't found any complaints about Aresp2p.net, the makers of
Ares P2P, other than the complaints described on the site you listed. I think
the main gripe is that aresp2p.net charges for their client and these people
don't like that very much. I'll keep researching it though but so far from
what I can tell, I would have to say that I differ with your opinion that Ares
P2P is a scam. If they made an Ares Galaxy client that was a little more Jaws
friendly, I'd be more than happy to use it.

ares2p.net is a scam.
It uses an open source program

I wouldn't support them.

Hi,
I've found an excellent alternative to programs like Limewire and
Kazaa that works fantastic with Jaws. The application is extremely fastand
won't bog down your system. You also get extremely fast download speeds. It's
called Ares and can be found at http://www.aresp2p.net. There are some steps
you have to take to make it work if you're using Windows XP with SP2 loaded on
it but it's nothing difficult. The two steps that have to be taken are very
simple and straight-forward. The only drawback is that the basic version of
Ares installs some adware but if you purchase the upgrade, you won't have any
of the adware. I'm intending to purchase the upgrade soon. For me, it would be
well worth it.

Subject: jfw and lime wire
Hi listers, a few weeks ago I remember someone out here asking
about scripts for jfw and lime wire. I have not heard anything any more post
regarding the matter, although I am very interested in knowing the answer as to
if there any scripts or if any one can get lime wire to work with jfw. Also
the person who asked the original question mentioned getting someone to write
scripts for it. I would be interested in knowing if he got a reply to that
question as I would be interested in getting a copy of scripts or talking to
who ever might be able to take on the script writing project. I am very
interested in being able to download music files, audio books, and movies from
the net and don't know of a good working program that I could use with jaws. I
at one time was using winmx with scripts, but I guess winmix isn't working any
more. If any one can shed light on this matter please reply. If you desire my
private email can provide that so as the list does not get caught up with
messages regarding my request.
