The feature list of the paid version does not mention removing advertisements though. Only virus protection, the ability to play more file types, transcoding and remote access.

Which I would rather pay to NOT have included in my version. I had been using microTorrent for what its name implied, for being micro.
IIRC, the first torrent client was written in python. Then ported to Java. The first implementations where so bulky that people hated those. uTorrent probably was the first port in C and everyone loved it for being light weight. Hence the "micro".
