How to Make the Latest µTorrent Less Bloated



We all know that there's a lot of bloat going on with the latest versions of µTorrent. Before all the comments of "use µTorrent 2.2.1 (build 25302) instead" some people prefer to have the latest installed. Okay, so forget about that now. 

 At the moment of this post I'm using µTorrent 3.2.3 (build 28705).

 As some of you have noticed, there's a few major parts that are especially annoying that are removable and I'll show you how:
Featured torrent
µTorrent Plus ads
Portable devices


 Some of them are harder to remove than others. We'll start with the "hard part".
Go into Options > Preferences > Advanced
Use the filter to search for these:
offers.left_rail_offer_enabled
offers.sponsored_torrent_offer_enabled
gui.show_notorrents_node
offers.content_offer_autoexec
 gui.show_plus_upsell

 The easier part is obviously a bit easier, we'll just go through a few settings that will change the appearance that isn't needed by the advanced menu. These are also more personal for your own liking. I'll go through what I use:
Click on Options
Below you'll what I have checked in and unchecked
☑ Show Toolbar
☑ Show Detailed Info
☑ Show Statusbar
☐ Show Featured Content
☐ Show Devices
☐ Show Plus Information
☐ Show Apps
☑ Compact Category List
☐ Icons on Tabs

 How it looks:

 Edit: Removed the tick from "Icons on Tabs" as that was faulty, though it's just a personal preference.
