Throughout the years, P2P networks, files in torrent format and everything that surrounds them, has not stopped growing and gaining users. Here we find well-known clients, as is the case that we are going to talk about next. And we are going to show you how to remove advertising from uTorrent , one of the most popular programs in its sector.
And, as you probably already know first-hand, both uTorrent, BitTorrent or Transmission, are the best clients to download files from the torrent network. With everything and with this we have at our disposal many other proposals in this same sense. But as is often the case in most software industries, in the end most users opt for a small group of titles. This is the case with uTorrent, a program developed by BitTorrent Inc.
Different types of torrent clients
Like we have the possibility of using a multitude of torrent clients , to say that we have them free and paid. Serve as an example this proposal that we mention here, uTorrent . And it is that despite the fact that its developer firm makes a free version of the program available to us, it has some drawbacks compared to the paid version. We say this because its top managers made the decision at the time to include advertising in the form of banners and videos. Of course, there is a paid version that lacks these annoying elements.
On the other hand, depending on the needs and knowledge of each one, we find torrent clients that are more complex, or simple to use. This is measured to a large extent depending on the customizable functions that each of them puts at our disposal. How could it be otherwise, the most advanced users prefer to have almost absolute control over the operation of the program. However, on the other hand, there are those who only seek not to complicate their lives and use the torrent client without having to touch anything.
But in this case, as in other similar proposals, we find a free one, very complete, but full of annoying advertising. This is the software we have told you about before, uTorrent. As we told you, here we find a free version of the program but with a rather annoying interface due to those ads that do not stop appearing. To all this we can add that they even slow down the computer and there are some that collect information from users.
How to remove ads from uTorrent
Of course, all this is something that over time, many end up looking for alternative solutions in the form of other titles to download torrent . At first we will tell you that the easiest way to eliminate advertising in this P2P client is by paying the fee for the Premium version of the program. But of course, despite the fact that in this way we can get rid of this annoyance, not everyone is willing to pay for this program.
That is why in these same lines we are going to show you how to remove advertising natively and without paying. For this, what we are going to do is modify some parameters in the advanced configuration of the client so that this disappears once and for all. In addition, we will not have to make complicated changes, far from it, so even less expert users will be able to do it easily.
Open uTorrent advanced features
Therefore, to achieve this that we tell you, the first thing we will do is access the program as such in a conventional way. Once we have it on the screen, what we must do is open the configuration options panel of the application. This is the section that allows us to modify and adapt a large number of uTorrent functions. Many of them allow us to optimize the operation of the software in order to get the most out of it.
To be able to access this section that we are commenting on, it is something that we can do in two different ways. On the one hand we have the possibility of making use of the Options / Preferences menu option.
Once the new window opens, on the left side of it we can see the different categories to configure uTorrent. But in the case that concerns us in these same lines, remove the advertising of the program, click on Advanced . It is worth mentioning that at the same time, to streamline all this and go directly to this section from the main uTorrent interface, we can use the Ctrl + P key combination.
UTorrent Advanced Settings to Remove Ads
Well, in this window we find a series of values that we can set as True or False. We recommend that you do not touch anything here if we do not know exactly what we are doing. And it is that a badly made change could negatively affect the operation of the torrent client.
Therefore, at this point, what we have to do to remove the advertising from uTorrent, is to locate a series of values from the list. We can either search for them one by one ourselves, or enter their name in the Filter field in the upper right corner. Specifically, the values that we must look for in this section are the following:
- Bt.enable_pulse
- Gui.show_notorrents_node
- Gui.show_plus_upsell
- Offers.content_offer_autoexec
- Offersfeatured_content_badge_enabled
- Offers.featured_content_notifications_enabled
- Offers.featured_content_rss_enabled
- Offers.left_rail_offer_enabled
- Offers.sponsored_torrent_offer_enabled
Once we find them, what we have to do here is change their default value. It is more than likely that at first it is in True mode, so we change it to False by double clicking on each of the entries.
We must bear in mind that it is possible that some of these values are already in False. If that is the case, as you can imagine these we leave them as they are by default, which is what interests us here. Thus, once we have made the changes , click on the Ok button in the configuration window to save them. From that moment on we will see that the uTorrent window advertising has disappeared.
