How can I block torrents?

[slyfox2151]

Didnt say it would....that was my responce to n-ster sugggesting to block a range of ports.

emplying i my post was directed at you i never quoted what you said.




TBH, dont dick around with all this BS, tell him straight to either cap his bandwidth to a resonable amount so it dosnt choke the connection, or to stop torrenting all together. it really is that simple

Have you tried simply telling them to download things overnight?

You know, try and get them to realise they're being inconsiderate, that's how I done things when I shared a house

That and I'd access the router and boot people off if they were being bellends lol

back on the topic now

but your right, it wont. It will only block some peers. If your using a public tracker that won't help a whole lot.

AFAIK, if I block the ports that I use for utorrent, my downloads are 30KB/s or less, which would take care of the problem

Another option. Enable WebUI and you can do whatever you want from a different PC whenever you want. You can stop his downloads when he is unaware. xD

If you blck the torrent ports, you'll also want to turn uPnP off, as most clients have to option to set up their own port-forwarding thru uPnP.

If i were you i would block/limit all ports apart from the ones that you use, although i don't know enough about routers to know how difficult that would be.
