    basically you cant do that in squid because torrent traffic doesnt
goes through squid. You'll have to do that in your NAT rules.

    Of course you can use squid to denied downloading the torrent
control files, those .torrent ones. But this wouldnt deny your users
from grabbing them through web tunnel sites, attached in email .....

    forget squid and goes blocking torrent in your firewall/nat rules,
there's the right place for P2P controlling.
