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

this will drop all bit-torrent connections.

Now what about queuing the traffic? is:
[admin@Core Router] /queue simple> print
Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid, D - dynamic 
 0    name="P2P" dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 interface=ether4 parent=none 
      direction=both priority=8 queue=wireless-default/wireless-default 
      limit-at=1000000/64000 max-limit=1000000/64000 
      total-queue=default-small time=0s-1d,sun,mon,tue,wed,thu,fri,sat 
      p2p=all-p2p 
all that I need? Or do I need to enter any other commands?

Maybe I'm something missing but it seems, that
Simple rule : /ip firewall filter add chain=forward p2p=bit-torrent action=drop
don't block all torrent connections.

I'm using MikroTik RouterOS 4.12

The matcher is outdated.

Search the forums for more recent threads.

I tried this rule also but it not working properly.

My question: Is bit torrent traffic same as utorrent traffic?

thanks

uTorrent is a client for the bittorrent protocol.

The short story is that you can't block p2p protocols by trying to detect them (blacklist). The best you can do is classify all traffic you want to permit (whitelist) and then block everything else.
