How to Disable the Banner Ads on uTorrent – Twothirds.Us
We won’t discuss the availability or usage of banner ads, as you’re likely already familiar with that. What you might not know is how to disable the banner ads on the user interface, left bar, and top below the toolbar. Let’s learn how. Before we begin, here’s an example of an advertisement.
Steps to Disable Advertisements on uTorrent
To begin, open the uTorrent client on your computer. Then, do the following:
1. Go to “Options -> Preferences”. You can also use the keyboard shortcut “Ctrl + P” to access the same menu.
Step 2: On the Preferences window, in the left pane, click Advanced. Do not expand it, just click Advanced.
Step 3: Look for advertisement options. In the text box, type “offer” to filter the options.
Take note of the last two options. Here’s what they mean:
– left_rail_offer: This option allows ads to flash on the left rail of the uTorrent client.
– sponsored_torrent_offer: This option controls the showing of offers at the top of the main view. Keep it true/false accordingly.
Step 4: To turn the ads off, double click on each option and change their value to false. Click Ok.
Step 5: Exit and close the uTorrent client. Give it some time to sync the set preferences.
When you reopen the client, the advertisements will no longer be visible. Voila!
Quick Tip: We have one more uTorrent tip for you. Enable video streaming on the client to preview or watch the video as it downloads.
