Since this is for unifi, just sharing smile.gif

If you know how to do it, flash the router to DD-WRT firmware.
I'm not using TM's router but i'm using DD-WRT, i dont have a problem with torrent because i'm the only one torrenting plus i only do it at night when my family is sleeping. The problem I have is Youtube HD sucking the line, hence mine is set up to give priority to web browsing and throttle streaming vid/music. But,

Here you add torrent protocols to the filter...
[attachmentid=3023485]

Also, if you want to be really unfair you can priority by MAC address (their computer's hardware address)
[attachmentid=3023494]

Which you can easily get from here
[attachmentid=3023496]

You can also bring down their speed and possibility to connect to seeds/peers during their torrent session by limiting the total connections and the duration of the connections that the router can open.
[attachmentid=3023500]

There's a guide here for dd-wrt on TM's router: http://unifi.athena.my
But i have to warn you, you'll have to be very careful and fully focused when flashing and configuring the new firmware. There's a possibility that the router wont start again if you're doing it wrongly. Eg. Through WIRELESS which is a big no. Got balls? tongue.gif icon_rolleyes.gif
