How to Disable! uTorrent/Bittorrent Ad-Supported.[b]

[b]As can be seen below, the ads come in the form of sponsored torrents through which advertisers can reach uTorrent’s worldwide active user base of 125 million. The ads are prominently featured in a yellow bar that sits on top of the torrent list.



Go to Options > Preferences > Advanced will see the following entry:

sponsored_torrent_offer_enabled or

offer_sponsored_torrent_offer_enable

type offer in the filter tab you can see it.

When this value is set to false the yellow advertisement bar will disappear the next time uTorrent is started. The opt-out feature isn’t mentioned in the uTorrent help file yet

You can also set gui.show_plus_upsell to false

You may have read about BitTorrent including ads in their popular torrent client recently. Not everyone were pleased with this decision. Fortunately disabling these ads is just a few mouse clicks away. And the best part is you don’t need any additional software to do this. That’s right , we can disable it from within the app.




Let me walk you through the steps to disable those ads in the UI:



1. First, open uTorrent (or BitTorrent) and Click on Options>Preferences





2. Now Click on Advanced in the left panel.




3. In the search bar found in the right panel of the advanced tab, start typing the following text to access the settings for it.

left_rail_offer

4. Then double click on the text in the right panel to change the value to false. You could also set the radio button to false and click OK.

5. Now repeat the above steps and change the value to false, for each of the settings below:

gui.show_plus_upsell

sponsored_torrent_offer_enabled

bt.enable_pulse

gui.show_notorrents_node

offers.content_offer_autoexec






6. Now close and re-open uTorrent. No more ads in the interface.
