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, Brandon msn: serrebitranceaddict@xxxxxxxxxxx yahoo: djserrebi mercora: serrebi101 http://www.mercora.com broadcast your music! and listen and discover new music! ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael G.

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.

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.

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. -------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this incoming message.
