i was hoping for something like a software restriction policy that would not even let him even open a .torrent file at all, regardless of the application he's using.

I haven't had an issue with .torrents yet, but if it has like application/x-mms or whatever I could block it with GFI's ISA addin. Sounds like you will need something that inspects the packets like IPS or IDS and then kill the packets. Or set to only allow one http connection which would basically kill the torrent if its limited to one connection? -----Original Message----- From: Michael Ross [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, January 12, 2008 3:41 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: blocking torrent files ok.. i have a user who i had to lock down rather tightly. i need to start blocking his ability to access .torrent files. i know he can use stand alone downloaders like utorrent that he doesnt need to install, and thus doesnt need admin rights. i tested setting up a software restriction policy with a path rule blocking *.torrent , but i could still open a torrent file. does anyone have any suggestions? ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~ ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~ ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
