The main difference/benefit I find AresLite has over other file sharing programs is that I have not found one bad version of a song on it. It also grants me access to almost every song I've ever searched for, within reason. I am not sure what network is uses, but I'm impressed by the amount of songs it has, even older stuff from lesser known bands.

I used to use Kazaa, and it would always be a gamble in regards to whether I would get a good version of the song or not... But with Ares/AresLite, I have yet to download an intentionally bad version of a song (beeps, stutters, etc.). The intereface is also very simple, and it supports searches for all types of files.

Oops.. I just re-read your question and realized you are asking the difference between Lite and regular..

Lite is basically a more simple/watered down version of Ares. Ares has a tabbed browswer and built in meda player, while AresLite has less features, but also uses less resources. I like AresLite because it's simple, does what I want, and isn't too "clunky."

More details about the differences between each can be found HERE.

Take care.
