How to disable ads on uTorrent.

The uTorrent is one of the most popular BitTorrent clients so far. Unfortunately since the latest version you're no longer be able to disable the ads, which I found really annoying because it usually display things that are inappropriate. But luckily you can now disable those ads.

To do this:
1. Open Notepad (Click Start>All Programs>Accessories>Notepad, right-click and select "Run as Administrator". Click Yes if a message pops up.


2. Press "Ctrl+O" or File>Open
3. Type "c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts" (w/o quotes) in the File name box
4. Copy-paste this on the bottom of the hosts file: "127.0.0.1 engine.ap.bittorrent.com", then click File>Save and done.


Now you should see that the ads have been disappeared, only the Upgrade to uTorrent Plus box on the bottom-right corner, it shouldn't really bother you.
