Almost every user knows the uTorrent program. With it, you can download files at maximum speed. It has an intuitive interface that anyone can understand. The application itself is perfectly optimized and does not load the system in any way, but there is one drawback - advertising. Perhaps it does not bother anyone at all, but there are people who do not want to see her. This article will explain how to remove ads in uTorrent using three simple methods.
Remove ads in the uTorrent program
Before you remove ads in uTorrent, itβs worth explaining that developers add it for a reason. It is precisely because there are advertising banners in the program interface that they receive money. Therefore, before following the instructions below, decide for yourself whether you want to deprive the developer of earnings.
Method 1: Using AdGuard
Using the presented program, you can remove ads in uTorrent 3.4.2 and in earlier versions of the product. It is also capable of working not only with torrent clients, but also with other applications. If you, for example, want to disable advertising banners only in uTorrent, then in the settings you can sort applications: in which users enable this function, and in which they do not.
So, we will go directly to the instructions on how to remove ads in uTorrent using the AdGuard program:
- Launch the app.
- Go to settings. They are located in the lower left corner of the window.
- Go to the Filterable Applications section.
- Make sure uTorrent is in the list of selected ones.
Please note that at this stage you can add new programs to the list by clicking the "Add application" button. If the list that you need is not there, then click the "Select executable file" button, and then pave the way to it yourself.
Now you are aware of how to remove ads in uTorrent, but this is only the first of three methods, so move on to the next.
Method 2: Using the Pimp My uTorrent Script
Pimp My uTorrent is a script that is designed specifically for our purposes, but it is important to know that it works on versions older than 3.2.1, and it is recommended that they remove ads in uTorrent 3.4 and higher. What you need to do:
- Open the torrent program.
- Open a browser and go to the official page of this script.
- Click the Pimp My uTorrent button there.
- After a few seconds, a window appears in which permission will be requested for the script to make changes to the torrent client. Click Yes. Note that if this window does not appear for a long time, you need to reload the page in the browser.
- Finish the Torrent program. This should be done through the tray by right-clicking on the icon and selecting "Exit".
After restarting the program, it will no longer have all the ads. Using this method, the advertisement in uTorrent 3.4.1 was removed.
Method 3: Client Settings
If the previous methods of solving the problem did not suit you, then the developers of the program provide the opportunity to remove ads directly in the program itself, by disabling some components. However, this method will require some knowledge and caution. By disabling the wrong element, you can "break" the program. But with the help of the instruction below, you will not experience any difficulties. So, you need to do the following:
- Log in to the Torrent program.
- Click on the "Settings" button, select "Program Settings".
- In the window that appears, go to the "Advanced" section, which is located on the left side panel.
- Enter the following in the Filter field:
offers.left_rail_offer_enabled
. - In the list, click on the component of the same name and put the switch, which is located at the bottom of the window, in the "NO" position. You can do the same action by simply double-clicking the name with the left mouse button.
- Now, knowing how to disable program components, you can search for everyone else. Their list is shown in the picture below.
Having disabled all the elements, you will need to restart the program. To do this, just close it and then open it again. You should close it through the tray, right-click on the program icon there and select the "Exit" action from the menu. After that, launch Torrent by double-clicking on its shortcut or through the Start menu.
Method 4: Client Settings in Windows 7
Unfortunately, in Windows 7 it will not be possible to remove ads in Torrent in the previous way. The fact is that some components will be missing. But they are simply hidden, and to display them you need to perform a certain sequence of actions. This is what will be discussed now:
- Log in to the program.
- On the main screen, press and hold Shift + F2.
- Press the "Settings" button, select "Program Settings" from the menu.
- Go to the "Advanced" section. Recall that all these actions must be performed while holding down the Shift + F2 keys.
- If everything is done correctly, the previously hidden elements will be displayed in the list of all application components. You can see their entire list in the image below.
You just have to turn them off. This is done in the same way as was described in the third method. After that, just restart the program again.
