How My Mom Showed Me The Ares Connect Way
Have you ever heard of Ares Connect? No? Me neither. Until my mom showed me, that is. To have my mom demonstrate anything remotely technical to is like teaching your grandmother to suck eggs. It shouldn’t happen – I’m determined it won’t ever happen again – but it did happen.
She started using Ares after I introduced it to sometime ago, and had formed an unnatural bond to the software. She was downloading a lot more than me, and I get through a fair few downloads a week!
We’d both been having troubles connecting to the Ares network for a couple of months, and it was really starting to frustrate us both. Sometimes we could connect instantly, like normal, but then on other occasions we were looking at waits of anything between 10 minutes and five hours. Not what you want when you need that music track NOW!
Anyway, these delays were frustrating as both and I decided to do a little bit of investigation into the situation. It turns out that we weren’t the only ones suffering. In fact Google is alive with requests for help on this particular topic. Search for “Ares connecting” and you will see exactly what I mean. Determined to find a solution to this problem, I went to sleep.
Meanwhile my mom, Ares addict that she is, dug a little deeper. She discovered that a lot of these issues – in fact all of these issues – were being immediately solved by something called Ares Connect. Of course she’d never heard of this. I’d never heard of Ares Connect, as I mentioned earlier, so it’s unlikely she had. Undeterred, she downloaded and installed the app. Apparently it worked first time. And every time since.
To have my technical problem solved by my mom… where did it all go wrong?
