druski Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Hi,I love uTorrent and the fabulous work you guys are doing. I thought you should know that one of the ads in your rotator is for something called SystemDoctor 2006 and it is popping up an alert dialog BOTH on page entry and exit for EACH appearance of the ad on the page. Some of the pages serve up this ad 3 times meaning you have to click through 6 dialogs on page entrance and 3 on exit. It also instructs you to "click ok" to download its activex object. I'm sure you guys don't want to be associated with an advertiser who has such shoddy practices as this, and I for one would really appreciate it if you would stop them from serving ads on your site!Thanks!

druski Posted January 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 they are in the rotator for your ad banners, as such they appear one to three times per page depending on the page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Oh. I wonder if BitTorrent Inc. checks these forums all that often... ;\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Alderaan Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 I thought we had google add sense here? (I have adds filtered so I don't see anything) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druski Posted January 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 yeah, I ended up installing Ad block on firefox, so now I dont see the ads either. Sadly thats the end result of advertisers who choose to piss of their potential customers. It just sucks for the sites that rely on ad revenue to start losing cash because of irresponsible advertisers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 @Lord Alderaan: That was before µTorrent + BitTorrent Inc happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Alderaan Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Ooh thats bad. BAD BitTorrent Inc! BAD BRAM!Even though Add sense had its quirks (adds to a scamsite) it still is one of the least obtrusive systems... These flashy banners and misleading (I might even say scamming) popups are the scourge of the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
