Dum Dum DUum : how to block limewire/gnutella

I know this is going to upset many of you here, but I want/need to block Limewire/Gnutella on my home network.

I'm running the WRT54G router, version 2. In my QOS Policy, I have 6346-6355 and 5634 blocked. I also blocked (for the hell of it) pokemon.com from working (anime makes me vomit), and that does work. However LimeWire works without a hitch.

Network performance is highly degraded because of Gnutella/Limewire, how to I block it? LimeWire (Im running the Linux version as a test on my machine) says "Firewall Detected" but I can still download various copyrighted material without any connection problems.

I get the sense that limewire can work around firewalls, which is neat and cool, but I can barly play a game of Quake 3 on an internet connection that I alone pay for.

Any tips?

Thank you.
