Hi Doinky, happy holiday to you too
Many folks like Ares, and it seems a reasonable system as long as you know how to clear the spyware you get from the installation, that being one of the things new users are often unaware of.
The good thing about us all using a variety of systems is that it splits the cartels efforts, so while I prefer WinMX, I,m more than happy for users satisfied with other systems to do their thing, and snuggle with us under the p2p blanket so to speak..
