You may try shaping everything that has source OR destination port 1214,
in both directions. This improves chances on reducing traffic since the
port 1214 is often used on any other side of connection.

I also saw some patch for iptables to stop kazaa (and other, based on
matching regexp's on data transferred) but i can't find it now.
