    Anyone knows how to block torrents on Linux (Ubuntu). I found some documents on Google but failed to block them. A step by step guide would be highly appreciated.

    You could maybe block the ports, but it is easy to change them. There are some packet shaping appliances out there that do the same.

    you would need deep packet inspection. take a look at l7-filter.sourceforge.net or look for opendpi
