Bittorrent - utorrent

Hello Everyone,

I am in a bit of trouble,

On a network where i am configuring IDS - using ASA5510 + SSM module, we try to deny access to Bittorrent downloads - it consumes quite a bit of bandwith and is not allowed by the company's policy.
We try to filter bittorrent which succedes - but the utorrent changes protocol and goes by the SSL port 443 and thereby circumvent the IDS, since its not possible to see the encrypted traffic.

Does anyone out there have a good idea of how i am to solve the issue?
