Hello,
You can easily block the relevant ports by using simple iptables / chains,
but you have one more option of crimping relevant users to a limited
amount of bandwidth so that the entire network is not affected.

You can have a look at something like cbq which would allow you to crimp
an entire network range OR on a per IP basis.

HTH.
