I am using uTorrent 3.2 (build 27636). I would like to ask if somebody has encountered the uTorrent "Unlock Now" screen and how to exit it. I have not tested this on other versions but this is how you open the "Unlock Now" screen:
First, make sure that Show Status Bar and Show Detailed Info are checked in Options. Then hover near the encircled area (somewhere around the Files and Info tabs). If the cursor changes to the one which indicates clickable links, click it. One thing I noticed is there might be a small random offset since the clickable area changes but still stays within the encircled range. I am also not sure if other versions have other clickable areas. Once you click it, the annoying "Unlock Now" page will open:
As of now, what I do to go back to normal view is to close the program and restart it, which can be quite a hassle if you have many downloads and seeds. Is there any other way to go back to normal view with exiting the program? Or which version does not have this feature?

The last time I got stuck on that screen, the way I found to get out was to show the sidebar (Options, or press F7) and click "Torrents." Yeah, it's well hidden.
Yes, I was also "whaaaaa" when it happened, especially since for me, exiting and launching again did not solve it!
