Dear,
I tried to block Bittorrent etc,but can't be happy,
then i tried another sloution that works fine,i.e ,L7 and ipp2p filter,i used it just to identify bittorrent trafic, then i applied qos on bittorrent and limit this to 10kb sometime it works,somtime offcourse not,these filter are not to block these protocols but to apply Qos on them.
if we use bittorrent encrypted protocol then all filter failed including Rope
torrent clients are becoming more smarter every upcoming day.

just do it,
that's because you're going about it the wrong way. the right way is
- identify "good" traffic
- give it a high priority, depending on how much it's used (http is used more frequently than ftp, for example)
- give everything else a low priority.
your problem is now solved.

Isn't it amazing how so many people can type "linuxpakistan.net" into their browsers but not "google.com"?

for the chat clients, it's easy. they only connect to certain hosts. i don't know which webcams you mean.
for the rest, well, watch your traffic for a few days (use the netflow stuff i posted about elsewhere). then, add rules for specific traffic as necessary.
measure twice, cut once.
