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

Ernesto November 11, 2012 93 utorrent Print
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 uTorrents 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. Were very mindful of that feedback and of our core values as a company, and as such weve been adamant that we maintain the same levels of privacy as always and that we do not interrupt the user experience with our ads, BitTorrents 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 isnt 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 isnt mentioned in the uTorrent help file yet, but the unofficial and updated version maintained by Rafi lists it (see N for more).

Why Offline Privacy Values Must Live On In The Digital Age
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 its 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, its still early in our experimentation, but weve 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. BitTorrents 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.

@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

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.

"BitTorrents current annual revenue is estimated at somewhere between $15 and $20 million" BitTorrent Inc. is making millions of dollars anually and they still need more? What the FUCK are they doing? The freeware community has proven that developing a top-notch torrent client doesn't even cost anything. What on Earth are they spending all this money on? Is the employee cafeteria stocked with nothing but 200 year old wine and solid gold lobsters? Seriously, what the fuck. @Pingo Yes, Torrent Freak should stop reporting on BitTorrent related news .
Revenue != Profit
well no SHIT Sherlock. the point in the users comment was its a free software but NOW they are just getting greedy. soon they will start charging when the adds stop paying them after the entertainment industry puts there to sense in to it and threatens to sure the corporations that are supporting them.

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 :)

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.

Post as Nejtillpirater. (Note since discus sometime ignore posts I am going to repost this several times so sorry for the duplicate) I confess. I confess because I just got fired and I am made at them now. Someone else will replace me I guess or even try to discredit and deny what I am going to write. But don't believe it. I was paid by the MPAA to voice fake opinions on pro-piracy forum such as TF. I used multiple names such as: IHaveNoBalls Someone Dirty_Bear F**k cybercrime Nejtillpirater Guest. . . 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 the Swedish citizen to react. So long and take care.

I didn't read all the comments but I saw one about disk overloading. I used to be an avid user of 2.2.1 I now use the most up to date version of utorrent without any problems. My 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.

I wonder how much of the $15-20 million finds its way to the artists and rightsholders that uTorrent exploits?
> "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.
