uTorrent Will Be Ad-Free For $4.95 A Year

http://venturebeat.com/2016/02/12/b...ual-subscription-to-remove-ads-from-utorrent/


I mean lowlut .. and it's not even pro. Pro version's annual subscription is 19.95$.

Annual subscription?! Really?

Do you remember the days when it was a program 300-400 KB in size? Yeah, me neither
They are too late to the party. Lots of people said they wouldn't mind buying ad-free version if the price was reasonable - years ago. They didn't give a shit, and now people don't give a shit about them.

I'm using 3.1.3. No ads, works on magnets. Works great. Better than any of the open source ones I tried.

Just go into

Options > Preferences > Advance
In Advance Options window
Look for offers.*
Set them to FALSE or 0 for numeric

offers.left_rail_offer_enable <- Is the one that show the adds. Putting this on FALSE will switch the add window to the static Upgrade uTorrent Pro

Works on the latest uTorrent 3.4.5

I love Vuze Leap, but the damn thing just keeps crashing randomly (it just disappears from the trey) and there is NO frigging way to get anyone from the dev team to look into it. Vuze Leap is what uTorrent used to be in the beginning. Remember how uTorrent was just few hundred kilobytes back then?

When I gave up on uTorrent I tried Deluge with no expectations whatsoever. I've been using it ever since.

One another option is NeoLoader. It combines eMule and BitTorrent networks. But you can only use BitTorrent without ED2K/KAD if you decide so.

Or Shareaza which combines ED2K, G1/G2 and BitTorrent. Though I have kinda weird experience with it's source crowding and stuff. Sometimes it works like a rocket, better than any other client and sometimes it's just stalling like crazy.

Shareaza is too bloated (even in early 00s LimeWire and Kazaa Lite (rip) were easier to use). Ares Galaxy is the shit.
