If you merely shape it rather than block it, they tend not to do that.
When I had problems with Kazaa users, I shaped their traffic so they had the
equivalent of a 28.8k modem for anything other than http (over the proxy). It
was enjoyable watching them wonder why Kazaa was so slow :-) It seems that if
the traffic is merely shaped rather than blocked, applications like this
won't try port 80.
