Ares Galaxy is a Windows utility for acquiring files from the web. Users are able to search for songs, clips and other types of media.

How it works

This program is based on peer-to-peer file transfer technology. When you download an item using this method, it is not being transferred from a central server. Instead, the file is copied to your computer from the available p2p network members. When the download process is finished, it is recommended to leave the utility running. This way other people can acquire the file using your computer.

Users can download another popular p2p application with similar features called uTorrent.
