RootlessAgrarian Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Foolishly I elected to upgrade my copy of uTorrent a few days ago, only to find out that it now displays an annoying splash ad at lower left. I googled around in hope of being able to turn this off -- no luck. Where's the "rollback" button? :-) Consulting the app web site I found that a licensed copy could be obtained, ad-free; *but* this would not be a one-time license fee but a yearly rental. At that point I shut down my long-running copy of uTorrent and installed/configured Transmission; the UI is admittedly not as clever, but I can get used to it -- and it's ad-free and won't start asking me for more rent a year from now. I would have willingly paid uTorrent a reasonable one-time license fee to be ad-free, but an endless rental agreement? I don't like this trend. Is anyone else feeling a bit annoyed by the combination -- adsplash harassment *and* open-ended rental rather than one-time license fee? Or am I just being an old curmudgeon?

IrishHare Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 I completely agree that the ads are very annoying. I'd even consider paying, but find that the Ad Free option simply hangs so not even available. Have used and enjoyed uTorrent for years, but looks like it's time to look at alternatives.
