Open some specific ports in SQUID

hi
i wanna change the squid.conf to allow users download through p2p <=> i need to open some ports for emule (4662,4672) and for Torrent (for ex 22373)
My questin is: how can i open these ports in squid.conf?
Is what i am describing here - right? if no - please provide me a right config for openening there ports

Code:

acl SSL_ports port 443 563 
acl Safe_ports port 80        # http 
acl Safe_ports port 21 20    # ftp 
acl Safe_ports port 443 563    # https, snews 
acl Safe_ports port 70        # gopher 
acl Safe_ports port 210        # wais 
acl Safe_ports port 1020-65535    # unregistered ports 
acl Safe_ports port 280        # http-mgmt 
acl Safe_ports port 488        # gss-http 
acl Safe_ports port 591        # filemaker 
acl Safe_ports port 777        # multiling http 
 
.... 
http_access deny !Safe_ports

all the needed ports for p2p are in # unregistered ports range (emule, torrent)
and "http_access deny !Safe_ports" denies all ports except Safe_ports, anotherwords - allow Safe_ports only!

So using that config should allow users to use p2p connection? Am i right? If not, what should i do to allow that?
10x!

are you sure those p2p apps work through proxies? cuz it sounds like you'd wanna NAT those, instead of proxying them...
