if you have limewire why do you needs ares? they connect to the same network...

try deleting the appdata directory and reconfiguring from scratch.

They don't, Ares has its own network since a long time.

I've heard there is an issue with the new version of Ares, files just sit waiting to connect. The solution was to downgrade to ares 1.99 or an older version.

I have 2.0.9.3030, got that some time ago, connects just fine.
I'm afraid it has something to do with your system, no idea about SP3, don't have that :ermm:
