Aaroona: Wouldn't L7 filtering be enough for this type of stuff? if P2P traffic is detected, it'll block it... FWIR, L7 isn't port dependant... Maybe work looking into, since quite a few firewalls etc now provide L7..

Bit torrent can be encrypted (think it defaults to on in utorrent) so L7 dpi can only detect "p2p" based on the traffic flow/behaviour. If you block on this you will get collateral damage like blocking skype, gaming and other stuff.
There is no silver bullet for this.
l43a2: can try block all the known trackers ?

timmmay: Is this a workplace? A stated, shared policy of "anyone using Bit Torrent to share copyrighted materials will be terminated with no warning" would probably clear up most issues.

raytaylor: a super simple solution
PROXY SERVER
if its a business, most users dont need direct access to the internet.
So you can use a windows or linux pc, with two network cards. One connects to the router, the other connects to the LAN.
Run a free proxy server application (analogx makes a good one) which you can download for free.
Then set the web browsers on the network to use the proxy server to get their internet.
MSN messenger will still work etc. but bittorrent wont.

Actually, I think most BT clients will work through a HTTP proxy too..
