you can block the download by giving a download limit in squid for all users
or block the torrent extension

you can also put quota on users to limit download

the solution would be 250 pages long

Please use a descriptive title for your thread excluding words like 'urgent' or 'help'. Using a proper title makes it easier for members to help you. I changed the title for you.
