What you want is something like this:

/ip firewall filter add chain=forward p2p=bit-torrent action=drop

Or, for those of you using WinBox:

  • Navigate to IP > Firewall
  • Click on the big red plus
  • General > Chain: forward
  • General > P2P: all-p2p
  • Action > Action: drop

Credit goes to Atari – without their terribly broken digital download service, I would’ve never been forced to accidentally test this rule. :p
