Block their IPs

About the only thing which can be done to stop leechers is to manually block the IP address of each of them.

The client and protocol is open source, so a client could be made to report that files are being shared when they are not. Nothing other than manual IP blocking will work, and with dynamic IPs being more popular, that doesn't always work either.
