Released in January of 2004, Warez P2P is a P2P filesharing service that searches the Ares Galaxy network, and offers a service similar to that of Kazaa.
Up to version 1.6, Warez P2P was a clone of Ares Galaxy, created by Italian developer Alberto Trevisan, but since then has been developed independently by another company.
There are several reasons why people prefer Warez P2P over other networks such as Kazaa and Gnutella. The software claims that it has faster download times due to a better implemented multi-sourced swarm downloading technology, no spyware, faster and more complete searches than other file-sharing programs. Warez P2P also has the additional feature of chat rooms.
Warez P2P is hosted on the warezclient.com website, and enthusiastically touted by the warez.com website as a spyware and adware free filesharing service, however some users report that adware is present inside at least the free version of the program. As of September 2005 its network figures are displayed as in excess of 1 million users which puts Warez P2P on the list as one of the most popular filesharing services.
With an arguably dubious name, the future of Warez P2P remains in question as long as the RIAA and other industry bodies are at logger-heads with P2P filesharing networks.
In July 2006, Warez 3 P2P Browser was released, announcing the client's return as completely adware free and marking the release of a new pioneering download technology and new iP2P DHT network.
