Spell out your words. And the short answer is, you DON'T block torrents via Squid. Squid is an HTTP proxy server...torrent's do NOT run on that port, so they can't be BLOCKED by that. Putting "linux block bittorrent downloads" into Google pulls up lots, as does searching this very site, since this has been asked (and answered) many times:

You need an L7 filter. Squid can block the .torrent file types, but that's pointless. All anyone has to do is copy the URL into any bittorrent downloader, and download away.

If you have that firewall, then why don't you learn how to use it??? You've got it, along with the manuals and access to their tech support. Trying to implement another solution, because you don't want to learn the one you have seems a bit wasteful.
