As many of you reading this know, Ares is a wonderful file sharing tool and its technology has recently come a long way. Millions have joined and many more wait to discover it. For those of you already on board, you know how great it is to find the file you are looking for and share it in mere seconds. At times, you may experience some technical difficulties. One of which may be the dreaded: searching/connecting" message after a search query.

If the status of the file you want to download stays on "Searching/Connecting" or your downloads progress very slow, please review the following tips below.

The file you tried to download has a low availability rating (the stars that show up next to the file on the search tab). Go back and search for the song again. Try to find the file you want with 2-3 stars. The more stars a file has, the easier it will be for you to DL it.

Be patient. Ares Download will automatically search for the best connection and search for more users to DL off of. There is no "Speed Up/ Find More Sources" option, as it is already built in to the system. Ares automatically searches for more ...
... sources.

If the download seems to be going much too slow (and the availability rating for it was good), a trick some users do is pause the DL. Wait, and then resume it. Also, if the download is crawling along (less than 1kbs), cancel the download. Go back to the search tab and search for the file again (Since Ares is continually searching for users, sometimes the number of files available changes). Find the file you want and try downloading it again.

Jumping nodes may be a good idea in this situation. Go to the Control Panel and click on 'Disconnect'. Wait a real minute or two. Then, click on 'Connect'. Sometimes your Ares Download will dump you on a new node that has better running performance by giving you a better list of available files.

The port server you're on is blocked--on the port server area of the preferences menu try using port #80, or 71. (Go to the Control Panel, and then click on "Network". It should be set to 0. Try changing the port number in the "Transfer" tab as well). Once this is done, shut down and reboot your computer.

We hope this helps you on your way to more efficient downloading with you Ares Download.
