How to disable ads in uTorrent for Mac OS?

That's not a duplicate of How do I remove the ADs in uTorrent? because this question is about MacOS version, which have different settings and ads hosts. Reciple from that question is useless for MacOS version.

No. Because MacOS uTorrent differs from Windows version. – ckesc – 2018-07-12T16:05:05.873

Isn't there any preferences option in uTorrent? Windows has Ctrl+P shortcut to open preferences. – Biswapriyo – 2018-07-12T18:28:43.323

uTorrent Mac looks completely rewritten from scratch. It is not ported version. Here is preferences screen: https://imgur.com/a/BiDqAFt

We need to prevent access to ads hosts and clear cache

0. Close uTorrent

To close it completely open uTorrent and press ⌘+q

1. Put this into your hosts file

127.0.0.1 cdn.bitmedianetwork.com
127.0.0.1 static.ap.bittorrent.com
127.0.0.1 www.bt.co
127.0.0.1 bt.co

Use sudo nano /etc/hosts for it. (How to do it?)

2. Clear uTorrent cache

Open Terminal and execute

rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/com.bittorrent.uTorrent
