Blocking torrents with Websense Web Security

$

I have a test set up with a Cisco ASA, Websense Web Security v7 server and client machine.

Does anyone have any suggestions on the most effective way to configure Websense Web Security v7 to block torrents from being downloaded? Blocking websites e.g. piratebay is all well and good, but if say a user gets hold of a .torrent file, is there some way to block it from communicating with trackers etc and downloading after being loaded into a client application e.g. BitTorrent?

I know about the BitTorrent object in the protocols section of Websense, but even if I block it it doesn't seem to have any effect at all.
