The two networks, while nearly identical, do not share files or users. In my experience Ares files are reliable and mostly malware-free. Ares is a smaller network, so it's monitored less by copyright holders that might catch you using it; however, there is nothing about the network that makes it harder for them to track you.
There are a number of applications that use the Ares network. The Ares Galaxy application is completely safe by itself, but there is obviously the risk of malware from the network.
