We've had to take a different approach for our LAN events and block big brother 
from monitoring us, via peerblock, http://www.peerblock.com/

this would require more hardware in the wrong places, another suggestion would 
be to use a VPN system meant for pirating, https://www.ipredator.se/

uTorrent and most of the torrent clients look for open ports,and even will 
operate via 80/8080 nowadays, as you suspect. 

data caps might be a way to go as well, after xxxMbs they then get a speed cap 
similar to dial up. this will deter the people pirating, but still can be 
traced.


here is my current deployment I manage via open-mesh FW on engenius AP's
