How To Disable Ads In Torrent

uTorrent is by far one of the best and most popular bittorrent clients. What makes it even better is its availability across platforms i.e. Windows, Mac, Linux and mobile devices like Android and iPhone.

Well, we are not going to talk about its availability or its usage. You probably know all that. What you may not know is how to disable the banner ads that flash on the user interface, on the left bar and on the top just below the toolbar. Let us see how to do it.

Before we start, let me show you an example of one such advertisement.

Steps to Disable Advertisements on uTorrent

First and foremost, launch the uTorrent client on your machine. Then follow the steps below:

Step 1: Navigate to Options -> Preferences. The direct keyboard shortcut for the same isCtrl + P.

Step 2: On the Preferences window, on the left pane, click the Advanced option. Do not expand it, simply click onAdvanced.

Step 3: Now you got to look for the advertisement options. In the Filter text box type offer. That will filter out the required options.

Take note of the last two options. Here’s what they mean:-

left_rail_offer: This option, if true, allows ads to flash on the left rail of the uTorrent client.
sponsored_torrent_offer: This option is the control for showing offers at the top of the main view. Keep it true/false accordingly.

Step 4: In order to turn the ads off, double click on each of the options and change their value to false. Click on Ok.
