try to not hijack other people threads to keep the list in order, please.

it can be done but it's preferred to redirect them into some html page
that is saying something about restrictions of the network.
you can use the url_rewrite_program.
i wrote some url_rewriter in these examples:
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/PhpRedirectors
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/DynamicContent/Coordinator#Store_URL_Rewrite

mine uses regex to find a match.
if so will send a rewritten url to the server.
you can use it like this:
##start
#!/usr/bin/ruby
def main
   while request = gets
         request = request.split
      if request[0]
         case request[1]
           when /^http:\/\/.*\.torrent$/
             puts request[0] +
"302:http://server_ip_or_domain/302_torrent_forbidden.html"
           else
             puts request[0] + ""
         end
      else
         puts ""
      end
    end

end
STDOUT.sync = true
main
##end
