Despite the fact that the free Ares download is designed to be user-friendly and intuitive, you may still be struggling to master this popular peer-to-peer file-sharing program so that you can use it to its fullest potential. One common problem many users experience is not being able to find where on their computer the downloads from the Ares network have been stored.

Not to worry, both finding files and changing their location so that they are easier to find in the future is easy. Here is how:

Finding the File-Storing Location of the Free Ares Download

Although there is some variation between different versions of Ares, the files are generally downloaded to this location: C:Program FilesAresMy Shared Folder. You can double check by going into the Control Panel section of your Ares program. From this screen you will see the file path location where the program automatically stores everything you download from the network.

Changing the File-Storing Location of the Free Ares Download

To change the location where your downloads are stored on your free Ares download, simply go to the same Control Panel screen described above, erase the file path which is already there and type in the new file path to your desired location. If you ever forget where you told the Ares program to store your downloads, you can always return to this screen to prompt your memory.

Telling Your Free Ares Download How to Find Files in the New Location

There are two things you need to keep in mind if you change the Ares download file path. The first is that Ares will not automatically pull the files that are already stored into the Ares Shared Folder to the new location. You'll have to do this manually if you want to consolidate your files so that they are all in one folder.

The second thing you'll need to keep in mind is that you'll have to tell the Ares program where to look for the new files when you wish to import them into your library. When you tell the Ares program to "Autoscan" for new files, make sure that your newly designated download folder is in the list.

And, as always, if you have further trouble using your free Ares download, there is no shortage of users and technical support available to help you.
