UTorrent developers offer an ad-free version for $ 4.95 per year

The team that develops the manager for downloading torrents uTorrent offered users the option of replacing the advertising embedded in the program with a paid annual subscription. Thus, the opportunity to buy a version without ads for $ 5 / year, or a version with additional features for $ 20 / year, was added to the free version of the program.

Additional features include automatic scanning of downloaded files for viruses, VIP user support and the ability to automatically convert file formats.

The uTorrent team thought about experimenting with a paid subscription last summer . The team itself was unhappy with the need to include annoying ads in the program that annoyed users - but since uTorrent was always free, it was almost the only way that their parent company, BitTorrent Inc., made money.

In principle, $ 5 per year is not such a big payment for the opportunity not to see advertising in the program. And uTorrent, without a doubt, is a very popular program - it is the most popular torrent manager in the world, it is regularly used by more than 150 million people every month.

On the other hand, there are quite legitimate methods of disabling advertising in the torrent client, even without the need to hack or pirate it. On the program's forum, you can easily find the instructions , and even easier to use the site " download my uTorrent ." The author of the site uses the built-in program protocol to communicate with the browser - as a result, all the necessary settings can be applied by pressing one button on the page.
