Workaround to get no ads in uTorrent

i saw this on another forum, i tried it and its working so i thought of sharing it here

Open uTorrent Client

Open Options > Preferences > Advanced.

Search for and CHANGE THE VALUE to FALSE for the following SIX Entries:
* 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

Click OK and then COMPLETELY CLOSE AND RESTART uTorrent.

Re: Workaround to get no ads in uTorrent

I blocked ads through the same process around a year ago. However, after they started bundling opt-out adware in the installer and did this https://torrentfreak.com/utorrent-quiet … rt-150306/ , I immediately uninstalled it.

I now use Deluge ( http://deluge-torrent.org/ ). The interface doesn't look as good as uTorrent and it isn't as feature packed. It has a nice plugin system though. After adding a couple of plugins, I now have nearly all the features I used in uTorrent.

There's also qBittorent ( http://www.qbittorrent.org/ ). It looks better than deluge but it doesn't have a plugin system and the scheduler doesn't allow you to completely turn off downloads. You can only set it to limited speeds (minimum of 1 kbps is possible) so I chose Deluge.

Both Deluge and qBittorrent are completely free and I doubt they will ever resort to the tactics that uTorrent now uses.
