There are some occasions where the strength of a product can mean its name is considered a byword for the leading product in its chosen field. So was the case with the Ares Galaxy P2P filesharing software which was long considered the only viable application in this area.

Since those early, heady, fun-filled days of 2002 things have changed. Ares Galaxy is most certainly not the only horse in this race; what’s more, this particular horse is getting on a bit and is starting to drop to the rear of the pack. Of course this change hasn’t happened suddenly, and in fact Ares Galaxy hasn’t been the best available for some time now. Ares Ultimate, Ares Ultra and Ares Vista are all vastly superior products that just didn’t have the Ares Galaxy name. Galaxy managed to keep going purely on the strength of its name.

There’s nothing wrong with Ares Galaxy per se – in fact it’s still better than some of the modern equivalents like Ares Gold and the horrible Ares Destiny, both fairly incompetent and both packaged with adware – it’s just that people are starting to see that there are much better alternatives. Alternatives that have moved with the times where Ares Galaxy failed.
