How do I remove the ADs in uTorrent?

Question

Since version 3.2, uTorrent displays ADs in the form of a "Featured Torrent" banner and a small square advertising in the sidebar. Is there a way to disable those?

Answer 1

Set the following settings to false in the advanced settings of uTorrent. Some variable names differ depending on your uTorrent version:

• bt.enable_pulse
• gui.show_notorrents_node
• gui.show_plus_upsell
• offers.content_offer_autoexec
• offers.left_rail_offer_enabled / left_rail_offer
• offers.sponsored_torrent_offer_enabled / sponsored_torrent_offer_enabled
