I own only just started using linux, try it its gr8. Takes a bit of getting used to. I merely wondered if you can use anything close to ares to download music and such, cheers.

Welcome to Linux!
Good luck!
Frostwire is preinstalled in the current PCLinuxOS distro,along near a bittorrent client.So yes.
