I am currently at a public library. It has an open WiFi - no password needed and no popup sign-in, etc. Ostensibly, it behaves like an unsecured home WiFi network would.

Jan 09, 2014 I´ve been downloading from a public network for around a 7 months. Then as a magic trick, every torrent just stay on ¨CONNECTING TO TORRENT¨. I´ve tried by several ways for fixing for 1 week at least. And with the same surprise, something changed, and back to download.
However, I had an impulse to go to thepiratebay and get a torrent for a certain song, and I am noticing that though the magnet thingamajig has been downloaded and initiated in my client, the network will not allow my client to download anything.

This is not a problem, and I am not complaining. I have a good internet connection at home, and it probably behooves the library to have some usage controls on their public WiFi. But I am curious! How is this done? How does their system know to let me generally access the internet unfettered, but put the foot down when I launch Flud?

If I understand this correctly, the customer's computer that was connected through your ISP was SERVING these items, or consuming these items.
If this was a guy serving these items, that should be easier to stop, The customer may not even know the torrent server is on his/her machine. Block all of the inbound ports... I'm sure I'm oversimplifying, but I would assume that there's not any business reason for a coffee shop to serve any data out to the Internet, correct?

My favorite is the Sophos UTM gateway. There are others with names of PFSense, Sonic wall... These usually display a guest access policy click through that users get to see.

These devices typically become your router, and connect to the ISP.
