Mobius 1 Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 There is no "sponsored_torrent_offer_enabled" option in the advanced settings. When I type "spon" it doesn't show anything (blank result)EDIT, I can right click the left banner and hide it. For the top, go to Advanced and search for "Content" in the filter fieldClick the "content_offer_url" and set it to "0" (numerical zero), or you can use U+200C from windows character map (arial selection) and paste it in the settings a few times.

The one on top is still there, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mobius 1 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 preferences - advanced - sponsored_torrent_offer_enabledI think this is a scam.

The one on top is still there, however.I can confirm that mine works._. I hate BitTorrent now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike89 Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 I have version 7.7 and I have no ads at all. How come some have ads and I don't? Not that I'm complaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike89 Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Anyone care to post a pic of the ads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webfeatus Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Not interested in the ads.Shame, I have been using utorrent & bit torrent for years.After all these years, I will be looking for another torrent program.That is how much I hate having ads delivered without my permission; ads simply sh*t me to death.I wonder what will come first?A new torrent program installed on my computer;Or an answer in this thread as to how we get rid of the bar?(no suggestions in this post, so far, work) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike89 Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 What I meant was would someone post a picture of their BitTorrent that shows ads. Mine doesn't so there must be a way to get rid of them cause I don't have them as you can see from my pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tauros Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 it's a shame...how we disable this disgusting thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choyleigh Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 the solution is fairly retarded 1. For Connectify - click Instant Download and it will add to your queue Connectify2. Right click on that Connectify torrent and remove it completely3. Then it will be BT LIVE, also Instant Download, also it will be in your queue. Remove it as well.4. Now it will say that they don't have more ads, click ond the small boxed X and you're golden :DDD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choyleigh Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 well, maybe until the next update. But, if I can use BT for free all this years and it has been working flawlessly all that time, I don't mind downloading program or two that I'll never use, or actually fully download, just to support the development. So I'm ok, as long you have some option to opt out without spending money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Hmm. Looks like BT doesn't have the option, though it should.In the meantime, just switch to µTorrent instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike89 Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Well I sure don't know what's going on cause I don't have that banner when downloading at all. Always looks like the picture I posted when downloading. Whatever is going on with the way mine is set up, I ain't touching it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bren0 Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Hate it so bad, will be following this thread with much interest. Hopefully BT Inc come to their senses and add an option to disable this crap. Although, I'd say they'll be unwilling to do that as the inability to remove the thing will undoubtedly be written into the contract they have with the companies they are advertising. MOAR REVENUE!!

MOAR REVENUE!!No, this was just an oversight. We added the option to uT and just... forgot to do it on BT. We'll be fixing that shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
