Ares Lite is the source of much confusion from user of filesharing software. Perhaps this is due in part to the misrepresentation to which the software has been subject.
Ares Lite got its name because was a cut down version on the original Ares Galaxy; the difference between the applications was limited to the number of ‘extra features’ available, namely an integrate ‘chat room’. Ares Lite also allowed less simultaneous network connections that its ‘big brother’.
Some ‘Entrepreneurs’ started to package Ares with ad serving software (and worse) in order to make money from downloads of the software. Ares Destiny (bundled with the horrible ‘Dealio’) is a case in point.
Possibly scarred from this negative experience, users then went looking for a version of Ares without the bundled adware. Misinformation across the Internet advised them, incorrectly, that Ares Lite was ‘Lite’ because it had no adware bundled. This is simply not true and there are many versions of Ares that do not include any adware of malware of any kind. Notable examples of ‘clean’ versions of Ares include Ares Vista, Ares Galaxy and Ares Ultimate. If you are in the market for an Ares download then you would do well to investigate these versions before any others.
