What is Ares P2P?
Ares Galaxy is an open source peer-to-peer file sharing program for Microsoft Windows. It is written in Delphi. Proponents for the software claim that it is able to download quickly, has a better and more complete search function than other file-sharing programs, and connects quickly.
Where did that famous ARCA feature go to?
It didn’t go anywhere, it's simply controlled much different than before and ASAX 2.0 is the first remote administration application to take full control of the new features on offer.
So what is ASAX 2.0?
ARCA (Ares Remote Control Admin) enables users to create their own software to moderate there chatroom. The point in ASAX 2.0 is to be a second option from Arca Eclipse (the self acclaimed best Ares remote admin).
The difference between Arca Eclipse and ASAX 2.0 is that Arca Eclipse is a chat server, ASAX 2.0 is a addon to the standard Ares server.
Here's a comparison:
- Arca Eclipse depends on servers to list your channel - ASAX 2.0 does not affect your hosting.
- Arca Eclipse needs a bunch of scripts to do most commands - ASAX 2.0 has everything built in as expected.
- Arca Eclipse uses events like OnJoin - ASAX 2.0 allows you to input your own code which is not limited to event types.
- The Arca Eclipse author can access your Arca Eclipse room at any point and shut you down - ASAX 2.0 puts you in control, your chatroom will not close till you do it yourself.
ASAX 2.0 Features:
- Live coding: Code onto ASAX 2.0 as its active in the chat room (you can also write code over the original).
- Portable: ASAX 2.0 makes no files on the system, you could store it on a memory stick with ease.
- Lite: ASAX 2.0 has no GUI, it runs in your system where you have a few options on offer.
- Advanced: ASAX 2.0 will check if your command syntax is correct when performing commands.
- Filters: Ban/Kill/Muzzle/Redirect on join and text events.
- Custom Bans: Want to make the bans in your room that little bit tougher, try #permban [user].

- ASAX 2.0 has been built on a high spec machine, application performance may vary.
