There is a beta version of uTorrent for Mac OS X, but it does not have a preference option to uncheck. It simply has "Check for Updates" -- no mention of "detailed information" or the ability to disable it.
uTorrent for OS X seems quite crippled, in terms of features, or at least it did when I last used it. I do get that it is still a work in progress. For now, I'm still using Azureus on my MBP.
