yeah Ares is pretty good but slows down my laptop a lot when I use it... Then again it's a frickin laptop and I've got a crap load of applications running on it, not to mention SQL Server...
you are right?But as you said,it depends on how many applications are running on your laptop.I usually stop unwanted services on my laptop when downloading.I gives me faster performance even in limewire (m using that too but in special searches)..
