unfortunately with new bittorrent clients it's not easy to block all bittorrent traffic. you can try new NBAR PDLM's for bittorrent from Cisco Downloads and see if it can detect new bittorrent clients Traffic.

is there any way we can block torrents softwares?  like their ports block in ACL?

New Torrent Clients can tunnel bittorrent traffic through HTTP and it makes them harder to block ,

you can create a whitelist of your common internet traffic ports , and  rate limit rest of the ports
