uTorrent/BitTorrent, despite being popular, users still face problems downloading large torrent files. Users often complain about slow downloading speed. Also, both BitTorrent and uTorrent clients serve users with ads, affecting the downloading speed.
How To Disable Ads From the Torrent Client
The method we will share below doesn’t require any additional app installation. We have shown the BitTorrent method; you must implement the same thing on the uTorrent client to remove ads.
1. Launch your favorite torrent client – BitTorrent or uTorrent.
2. Head to the Options > Preferences.
3. Click on the Advanced.
4. Browse to the following two – offers.left_rail_offer_enabled, offers.sponsored_torrent_offer_enabled
5. You need to change the value of the following items to False
Along with these, you also need to set False as the Value for these:
- gui.show_plus_upsell
- gui.show_notorrents_node
- offers.content_offer_autoexec
- bt.enable_pulse
6. Once done, restart the Torrent client.
Set up & Use AdGuard DNS Server
Another good way to remove ads from Torrent clients is to use the AdGuard DNS server. AdGuard is a public DNS server that offers ad-blocking functionality & other features.
While AdGuard doesn’t remove all ads from the torrent client, it still blocks the most annoying ones. Here’s how you can set it up.
1. Open the Settings app and click on Network & Internet.
2. Click on the Change adapter options.
3. Now right-click on the active connection & select Properties.
4. Select Internet Protocol Version 4 and select Properties.
5. To block ads, use the following DNS server address:
- 94.140.14.14
- 94.140.15.15
6. Once done, click on OK.
After making these changes, restart your Windows PC. You will notice fewer ads on your Torrent client after the restart.
