Ares is a modified version of the Gnutella1(limewire) network. 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.

Check out my P2P guide for more info on other networks. All of the programs I recommend are malware-free:
