uTorrent Is Now Ad-Supported (and How to Disable)

This week uTorrent 3.2.2 was released to the public and one of the

release highlights are the new advertisements present in the client.

BitTorrent Inc. hopes that these ads will bring in extra revenue so the

company can continue to invest in the future of distributed technology.

When the advertising initiative was first announced no opt-out was

offered, but thanks to user feedback there now is an advanced feature

to disable the ads.

When BitTorrent Inc. announced its plan to

make uTorrent ad supported there was a

small user revolt.

The people complaining were mostly annoyed that there

would be no option to disable the ads. Luckily, BitTorrent

listened to the feedback and quickly decided that users would

indeed get a chance to opt-out.

After BitTorrent Inc. tested the new platform for a while, this week the “offer platform”

was officially announced in the release highlights of uTorrent 3.2.2.

As can be seen below, the ads come in the form of sponsored torrents through which

advertisers can reach uTorrent’s worldwide active user base of 125 million. The ads are

prominently featured in a yellow bar that sits on top of the torrent list.

uTorrent ad for “Facebook Lite”

BitTorrent Inc. tells TorrentFreak that they will continue to closely monitor feedback from

the community. Thus far users have been largely accepting of the new ads, they say.

“We’re very mindful of that feedback and of our core values as a company, and as such

we’ve been adamant that we maintain the same levels of privacy as always and that we

do not interrupt the user experience with our ads,” BitTorrent’s Matt Mason says.

“In online conversations and live walk-throughs, users are largely accepting and in many

cases interested in the offers we put forward, which include artist content and our own

new technologies, betas and product news.”

A direct outcome of user feedback is the decision to allow uTorrent users to opt-out from

the advertisements. Understandably the feature isn’t being promoted widely, but users

who go to Options > Preferences > Advanced will see the following entry:

sponsored_torrent_offer_enabled.

When this value is set to false the yellow advertisement bar will disappear the next time

uTorrent is started. The opt-out feature isn’t mentioned in the uTorrent help file yet, but

the unofficial and updated version maintained by Rafi lists it (see N for more).

For BitTorrent Inc. the advertisements are part of a series of new test cases designed to

bring in additional revenue to support the development and innovation of file-sharing

software. However, the company says that it’s not blindly accepting all advertisers.

Since the announcement in August the company has received many inquiries from

prospective partners, but the company is very choosy.

“Our approach has been to selectively work with partners who understand that BitTorrent

users are among the most sophisticated online, and thus have a high bar when it comes

to engaging with advertising,” Mason tells TorrentFreak.

“We believe that delivering a quality advertising experience that resonates with a highly

influential, tech-savvy audience requires careful diligence, and have had to turn away

some of the demand at this time.”

BitTorrent say that their initial partners are very positive about the new advertisement

possibilities, and that many users are clicking on the torrent offers. At the moment

BitTorrent is also experimenting with other types of advertising in addition to sponsored

downloads.

“In terms of performance, it’s still early in our experimentation, but we’ve seen strong

sustained download rates for partner offers. We are also experimenting with taking users

to partner websites to see how that experience compares,” Mason says.

It is no surprise that BitTorrent Inc. is looking for alternative means to increase revenue.

The company employs around 100 employees and is backed by venture capitalists who

eventually want to see a return on their investments.

BitTorrent’s current annual revenue is estimated at somewhere between $15 and $20

million and with the new in-client advertising this can grow further still.

If this means we can now get a secure uT v2.2.1 then I'm all for it!!!

I'll click on as many fecken ads as they want, just so long as I can continue using my

beloved 2.2.1.

I also applaud their option to disable the ads coz they do get annoying after a while and

folks woll just move to ad-free clients instead.

Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems to me like what you are talking about using requires

a DNS machine. Very few people have a DNS machine, hell most people don't even know

how to make a DNS machine.

Like

@Derp nope! Most computers (windows, linux, and mac) have some form of a hosts file,

though they're formatted differently. It's stored locally on your harddrive.

When you put these entries in, it does ACT like a dns server, correct.

When your browser requests, say, adtracking.domain.com, your computer first looks in

your hosts file, then other dns servers, to determine where it is. If your hosts file says

"adtracking.domain.com is at 127.0.0.1" (aka localhost) your computer will not even touch

the internet looking for that domain name, and your request to their servers will error out

on your own computer. They will never see your traffic.

Neat, huh?


@Jacob Taylor is right.

hosts file -> browser dns cache -> web dns

I wouldn't advise putting too much in the hosts file. It will slow initial connections down.

Evey time you need an IP address resolved, it will scan through your hosts file first. If you

have hundreds on entries that will severely slow you down.

If you think about average web pages, they have more than twenty different urls for the

page. (twitter buttons, js scripts etc... hotlinked images.... and the ads)

So if you have a VERY SMALL adblock list of 100 entries, for the typical web page it will

take at least 20 x 100 comparisons ( 2000 ) before it will load content.

Given that adblock lists can have thousands of entries....You can see the issue.

AdblockPlus the FireFox extension doesn't work in the same way.

One entry in adblockplus could be equivalent to 1000 entries in the hosts file.

HOSTS:

All domain names must be fully-qualified; wildcards are forbidden, and including a domain will

not affect any subdomain, so for example both facebook.com and www.facebook.com would

need to be included if blocking Facebook.

TL;DR ...... Don't use HOSTS file for adblocking IF you don't NEED to. There are better

alternatives.


@ANo I don't know what you mean by slow you down, Adblock slows the browser and

uses more resources to do the same thing, Hosts has the added advantage of working

outside the browser(s)

Also

you should replace 127.0.0.1 with 0.0.0.0 for a speedier lookup failure, which in turn

should speed up browsing sites with lots of ads or trackers.


@aNo Your findings of slow initial connections do not match my experiences. From what

I have seen, there is an initial processing period wherein the operating system sorts and

processes the list (usually at boot-time). After that, the list is only reprocessed if it

changes. If you change it while you're doing stuff, there is a small hiccup while the list is

resorted and reprocessed, but it never has any effect on your browsing activity.

Connections aren't dropped or lost, just put on hold while the new information is folded

in.

The HOSTS file I use has nearly 10,000 entries. There is no performance impact after the

initial processing is done. Perhaps it is different for those running WindowsXP? I run

Windows 7, and have done so for years. I don't remember having performance issues on

XP with that list, but perhaps my memory isn't perfect.

The benefit of using a HOSTS file is that it's not in your browser. Your browser is for

browsing, not network connection management. Also, I can use any browser ever, and they

are all successfully filtered. I also run a little nginx server locally on my computer that

only hands out a blank text file no matter what you ask it for, which alleviates the "error,

connection refused" you often get when using a hosts file. It means I get beautiful blank

areas where ads are supposed to be, rather than error messages.

Like



@Guest

Slow you down because every time you load a page your hosts file is crawled through

first, before you go to online DNS.

@ Jacob Taylor

It has to be processed every time a url is loaded. It takes time to check and resolve every

url.

So if a page, image... whatever url address, is not in your hosts or browser, it still has to

check through your hosts and browser. So it is slower. It takes more time. It's an

indisputable fact.

If you don't perceive a time delay, that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

But with 10,000 entries in your hosts file, I really do doubt that there is no perceivable

delay.

As I said, most web pages have 20+ urls without hotlinked images (some have hundreds,

eg... those with hotlinked images). So with 100 urls needing resolving to IP's and a hosts

file of 10,000 ... that's 1,000,000 tests for that one page.

The faster and better your CPU,RAM..... the more your computer can handle a large hosts

file without noticable slow downs.

As for the benefits of entries in your hosts file...... Of course there are many. I never stated

otherwise. Like .........

Using your hosts file is FASTER to resolve IP's from URL's

( you don't need to connect to a server miles away)

BIG BUT..... There is a reason you don't run a full dns on your local machine. The same

reason you ONLY have a dns cache.

Saying that........

a larger hosts file = more time to process = TRUE

adblocking outside the hostsfile CAN BE more efficient and faster = TRUE

I still stand by my statement that adblockplus is a much better way to block ads in a

firefox browser and you should find other ways to block ads outside the hosts file.

BTW... all my favorite sites are IN my hosts file because it will load the pages faster. ( I

also block some urls too )

I still wouldn't rely 100% on it tho....

what happens when you get no URL and just an IP ? ( hosts file is useless )


ooops. must av miss tagged. Disregard the excessive bold


@ANo the point about it being slow isn't very obvious to me, but that could be due to me

only using fast PCs and not PCs from the 1990s in which I'd run my urls through a ad

blocking proxy on a faster machine lol

Like

a good hosts file is awesome i use mine to block all facebook related stuff ... this means

my internet is clean of this whole facebook nonsense. :D

it is... its 32kb/s that you can use on something else.. and if you living place like where i

cant very fast line... max 200kb /s (atleast that was my record). so you go steal from that

32kb/s that like 15% of whole capasity... but i am not going use these new utorrent clients

should actually make new lightweight utorrent, if i remember correctly utorrent was

opensource something like 5-8 year ago..

Like

you're an idiot, 32KB, not 32KB/s, what? do you think they are streaming new ads to you

every second?


its not the program its you ISP throttling heavy traffic. but Ne ways, v 3.0+ sucks stick to

the 2.0 versions or 1.0's


It would be stupid to use any of the 1.0's, because of exploits... afaik the only safe versions

are 2.0.4 and up

Good, I don't blame them for wanting to make a buck. As long I have the option to get a

"clean" interface (read: no ads) I couldn't care less what they do or not :P

I update uTorrent once in a while (I still have 3.2) and although I always check every

setting, so I'd had discovered those to disable the "offers", it's nice to read it here.

I guess I'll be reading a lot of hate comments here... lol, haters gonna hate xD


TORRENTFREAK should stop having advertisement on their website. Advertisement is

wrong according to the freeloading community.


torrentfreak people need to eat man.


torrent freak is not the server host. they use adds to help pay for the server cost, NOT to

fill there stomach.


Yeah, unlike artists who create digital entertainment. fuck them.


> "Yeah, unlike artists who create digital entertainment. fuck them."

You seem really confused. First of all artist don't create digital entertainment, they create

creative works. Entertainment is not digital, files and transference of information is digital.

Secondly, society cares for all people, not just artists, so that they don't starve. That's not

the responsibility of torrentfreak people.

Thirdly, the combined revenues in the culture industry are currently higher than ever

before in history, and the artists are currently making more money than ever before.

There's no starving.


Ad-free, oh really? Are you going to pay for their servers, bills and time then? GTFO!

even cost anything. What on Earth are they spending all this money on? Is the employee

Yes, Torrent Freak should stop reporting on BitTorrent related news.


Revenue != Profit


well no SHIT Sherlock.

I have just disabled it, and although the yellow ad-filled bar at the top is gone, there are

still somes ads appearing at the bottom left where it has the "uTorrentPlus Upgrade"

banner.

I mean, it's fine by me, since that box is going to be there anyway, I'm just saying they

didn't exclude ALL of them. But hey, don't forget if you like uTorrent, just click on any

random ad, let the page load and close it. You'll be doing them a favour, and after all

these years, I think it's a small one.


You can remove the "Plus Banner" just as easily, using the method described above.

Search "plus" in Advanced Options and you'll find "gui.show_plus_upsell". Set it to false to

hide the banner. No more ads :)

you don't get it do you? add support could come from ANY corporation. INCLUDING the

They're already making a buck. In fact, they're making shit tons of bucks.

Which makes putting ads in uTorrent seem crass and greedy.

i dumped utorrent a few versions back because of this crap Sad because utorrent used to

Fuck all of that I still use 2.0.04 that has no add crap and no bloat and it works fine. Of

course I am not part of any private tracker that requires a special version so for present I

have no need to upgrade.


a) they could say whatever they like, ordinary users have no way of checking whether it's

true or not

b) regardless of whether what they say is true or not, will the 'opt out' option be removed

because they say most users dont mind the ads?

c) what arrange has been made with which entertainment industries to allow ads to

various artists content?

d) if no pre-arrangement has been secured with the entertainment industries, how long

before they target torrents (and sites and users!) even more than now? everyone knows

how much torrent is hated by the industries

e) how does the 125 million users stack up against the number of users of the 'legitimate'

sites the entertainment industries keep touting to governments as being available? we

know the industries number of options and figures are bull shit and lies, but everyone

else, without even disputing or checking them, believes them!

it's starting to sound to me like time to move to a different client. what a shame after all

this time.


Use µTorrent alpha (3.4 build 28462) .then you will not have ads !!!!

Horrible, capitalism slowly infecting the entire internet.


The problem I initially had with this the first time it was announced was simply how the

ads functioned. From what I understood, they were "relevant" ads; meaning that they

would pull information like what torrents you're currently downloading and seeding to

serve ads of things you might care about. I simply don't trust anybody with information

like that. If they are going to pull your torrent list, they might pull other private

information that I didn't feel like sharing. But maybe that's just me being paranoid.

Of course I make up new names all the time sometime registered and sometime not.

Also I vote for myself sometime trying to make the world believe that a lot of people

support the entertainment industry. I know for a fact that this is not the case.

One example that will open your eyes:

As "Someone" I voted 9 times for myself under the November 10 article:

"Pirate Bay Founder Arrested Again On Suspicion Of New Hacking & Fraud Offenses"

Do you really believe that 9 people on TF will really agree with a garbage post such as

this posted below?

"I hope they keep that piece of sh*t locked up. . . "

Also I voted 4 time for myself as "IHaveNoBalls" under the same article.

I am sorry I did all of these. To redeem myself I am moving on your side guys. And also I

will spread all the industry dirty secrets I know on the net with the proof when I can get it.

You have no idea how evil are these entertainment people! I can also tell you that a lot of

frightening crap is curently going on within the Swedish governement and it is urgent for

I didn't read all the comments but I saw one about disk overloading. I used to be an avid

advice to you would be to try the most updated version every now and then and see if it

gives you problems. I fell victim to random disconnects and that stupid disk

overloaded/disk caching crap as well. I ended up sticking to 2.2.1 forever. I forget why I

switched, I think I wanted to try out the streaming feature...which does not work for shit

lol, but anyway it works fine.

But ya I guess with either the most recent update or previous updates they got rid of the

disk overloaded and random disc crap...at least for me :)

Rarely do I get a disk caching problem but it will only last 10 seconds max if it does

happen...which I've only seen it happen 5 or 6 times in the past six months...and I am an

avid downloader.

Skyfall movie SUCKS BALLS!

It should be called "Pump and Dump" 007.

I won't even bother downloading a DVD rip of this shite.

What a complete PROMO SCAM!

WORST BOND FILM EVER!


i found 2.2.1 disc overloading was not u.torrents problem, but hard drive shock protection

software slowing disc down when client was doing serious speeds. adblock plus is good

and i see no slowing whilst browsing, but hey, each to their own. i forgot what ads look

like so i go use the kindle, then i get my fix of brainwashing adverts. maybe someone

should point me to rooting this thing, damn nuisance not being able to get apps for free

I wonder how much of the $15-20 million finds its way to the artists and rightsholders

that uTorrent exploits?

You seem confused, uTorrent does not exploit any artists or rightsholders?

Secondly, why do you wonder how much of the revenues of one successful entrepreneur

that finds its way to other entrepreneurs? If the artists and rights holders want money they

have to sell something. Their sales are never the responsibility if any other entrepreneurs,

such as uTorrent.

That's how the free market works, did you not know this? Or do you have a problem with

the free market? Do you advocate communism or a planned economy?


I was quite unaware that the manufacturer of a tool can be said to "exploit" anyone.

Are you similarly worried that General motors are threatening to put Rikshaw drivers out

of business?

That good coach horse breeders are being "exploited" by Volvo Car corporation when their

products are used to facilitate transport in other ways than by hoof?

Are you in fact saying that anyone who builds a tool should be obligated to reimburse all

other vendors who lost business due to the use of said tool?

I wouldn't be too surprised by now if that were actually your view.

Wonder how long its going to be until they "accidentally" Remove the option to remove

ads. There is a reason I switched over to Tixati several months ago.
