So called in-content ads have been introduced in µTorrent 3.2.2. The following part of the guide looks only at ads displayed in the client and not at configuring the client in general. The µTorrent program starts right after you click on the finish button. Make sure you uncheck all three options here before you click on the next button. You may alternatively get an offer to install the uTorent Browser Bar or another toolbar. Make sure you select Decline on the page and then Finish. Note that you also see back and finish buttons here. You find accept or decline radio buttons here. The second offer is displayed on the next page. This is for Conduit which you may not want to install on your system. If you see accept or decline, it is usually an ad. While offers may differ, you can usually find out if the offer is an advertisement or not by looking at the buttons on the page. The first adware offer comes on the next page. This displays information about available updates on the screen so that you can control when and how they are installed. Make sure you check the "notify me before installing updates" option on the next screen. Just uncheck the "Yes, I'd love to check out this free download" before you click next to ignore the offer. This is Bagboy by the Pixies at the time of writing. The next offer is an official one, that is offering a free download to all users. The program adds an exception to Windows Firewall and runs it on startup as well unless you disable those options here. btsearch files to uTorrent automatically unless you uncheck the option here. No installation directory was displayed here which felt strange.

Click next once you are finished making the selection here. You can select to create a start menu entry, quick launch icon or desktop icon on the next page of the installer. Here you find downloads for all platforms, access to beta versions, the Android version of the client and µTorrent Plus, the commercial version of the program. You can download the latest version of the program from the official website. The second part of the guide looks at advanced settings in the client to get rid of the advertisement displayed in the program interface. The following guide walks you through the process of installing µTorrent on your PC without installing the program's adware and toolbar offers at the same time. Especially the toolbar and adware offers during installation and upgrade, as well as the advertisement that is displayed in the player when it is running have been mentioned in this regard. Much of it comes from the fact that it works more or less out of the box, is rather light on system resources, and ships with enough advanced options to spend the better half of the day configuring the client.Ĭomplaints have increased in recent time though. The µTorrent BitTorrent client is without doubt one of the most popular of its kind.
