Tutorial: How To Remove/Disable Ads on uTorrent!


Looking annoyed at the rotating ads on your uTorrent application? Wish you can just go Pro instead?

Well, you can do that, if you'd spend for it... or torrent it, but the only big difference between the Pro and free aside from being ad-free is the built-in antivirus, which may be redundant if you already have one installed on your computer.

If you just want to remove the ads on the GUI of the free version just follow these instructions - it is very simple:

1. Go to 'preferences' and open the 'advanced' tab. You might see a warning that the settings should not be changed, but that's a general warning for people who might come snooping in and mess the entire program up. That's not you.

2. search for the following and set them all to false [don't worry, they are alphabetical, easy to sort through]:
- bt.enable_pulse
- gui.show_notorrents_node
- gui.show_plus_upsell
- offers.sponsered_torrent_offer_enabled
- offers.left_rail_offer_enabled
- offers.content_offer_autoexec

3. click 'ok' and restart utorrent
