If you plan to restrict network traffic, then you're looking to use a  
firewall.  If you don't want to build one, there are lots of  
companies that will sell them, but aside from Monowall and maybe the  
Nokia IP firewalls which use FreeBSD, the rest (ie, Cisco PIX/ASA,  
Sonicwall, etc) use other platforms and are off-topic.

You could also start with enforcing your companies' policies on  
computer & network usage.  If you fire people who are using torrents  
after they've been warned not to, you'll solve the problem at the  
source.
