your reply has made me more aware of how things work and realise now there is no gain by installing ares.
thank you
Ares is worth having - I have it and use it.
It's a great one stop shop for stuff.
Very useful for getting hold of individual Addons and related repositories effectively by one click.
I would say that, right now, like most of the world of Kodi, grabbing Addons is a bit hit and miss.
But once things settle down ares is invaluable.
You also get access to over 400 builds including our friend sean99's.
(Bearing in mind all builds are also affected to a greater or lesser extent by the Addons issues).
The ares wizard is updated automatically often - currently on version 58.
