If you're looking for an all-in-one tool for downloading and
playing files using the popular BitTorrent file-sharing protocol,
give Ares a try. It's a simple-to-use BitTorrent client that also
includes its own built-in media player and chat capabilities.
The built-in audio and video player is particularly useful, because
it allows you to preview files while they're still downloading.
That way, if the file is not what you wanted, you can halt the
download. The media player also makes it simple to organize
playlists. And a library organizer allows you to easily manage your
media, and includes a helpful quick search feature.
The included chat client is surprisingly full-featured. Not only
can you join chat rooms that others have created, but you can
create rooms of your own. And despite the many features packed into
the program, it's cleanly designed, with all its features near at
hand. Note that you'll need to open a port in your firewall in
order for Ares to work.
