The Snort community has two rules that are designed to detect Bittorrent
communications in the 'p2p.rules' file, and you could use fwsnort to
recast these into iptables rules:

http://www.cipherdyne.org/fwsnort/

The Snort rule ID's are 2180 and 2181, and if you want fwsnort to use the
REJECT target against Bittorrent traffic, then use the --ipt-reject
argument like so:

# fwsnort --snort-sids 2180,2181 --ipt-reject
[+] Parsing Snort rules files...
[+] Found sid: 2180 in p2p.rules
    Successful translation.
[+] Found sid: 2181 in p2p.rules
    Successful translation.

[+] Logfile: /var/log/fwsnort.log
[+] iptables script: /etc/fwsnort/fwsnort.sh

Here is an example iptables command that fwsnort will execute to block
Bittorrent traffic (where 192.168.10.0/24 is an internal network
protected by iptables):

$IPTABLES -A FWSNORT_FORWARD_ESTAB -s 192.168.10.0/24 -p tcp --dport
6881:6889 -m string --hex-string "|13|BitTorrent protocol" --algo bm
--to 84 -j REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset

(If you want to try this, then please install fwsnort-1.0.2 since there
have been some bug fixes).
