Subject: Blocking Limewire/P2P apps Upload Only

Hi List,

Is there a way I can block the likes of limewire uploading (without
blocking d/l) at a network level preferably via a filter rule on the
router or server s/w in a home network environment.

The problem I have is ppl on the network forget to close limewire and
leave their machines on and of course this gobbles up all the bandwidth.
I have successfully implemented a rule to block limewire altogether at
the router but this does not go down to well with my users!

Many thanks,

Sam
