Unfortunately torrents can come from other places and trying to block it with key words or URLs is probably a partial solution at best. You would probably have more luck blocking certain ports. I'm attaching a document with some detailed information.  My best solution would be to block all ports on your firewall and then open up those that you need. But the efficiency of that depends on the complexity of your needs.
