Warn the 60 users that they could lose access if caught downloading torrents, don't cripple the entire network by trying to thwart them.
As long as you don't redirect any ports to the users, they will get a bad ratio and be throttled/banned from most torrent trackers anyway.
Blocking outgoing access to ports indiscriminately could potentially block legitimate traffic, you gain nothing from doing so.
I recommend education over censorship, explain why they can't use the network for those purposes and establish a written network use policy and a guideline for punishment.
That is the best way to handle this, I believe I've written this before to someone else.. perhaps it was you?
