Is anyone else experiencing any issues blocking Limewire? I've got a test box here running Limewire and while Untangle looks like it's blocking some of it, I'm still able to download files.

Kill all the p2p stuff in protocol control, then use the web filter to stop access to limewire.com. Then follow it up with a firewall block to kill access to 64.156.92.109. It's worked for me... so far.

I've done as you said and I am still able to download files from Limewire.

Yes, you will. But if you remove Limewire you can't get it reinstalled. If you want to stop Limewire the way you're suggesting you'll have to cut all access to the internet.
