Blocking Limewire on Tomato Firmwire
 

Does anyone know how I could block all P2P applications, but Especially Limewire, on my router which is running Tomato?

I don't get it? Just don't install them?

Yes, But sometimes people will download it and install it without my permission and Limewire is very good at avoid firewalls.

Go to access restrictions and ADD a new rule
Untick 'Block all internet access'.
If you want specific computers to have or not have access to the service that's going to be blocked then add those specific MAC or IP addresses. MAC addresses would probably make more sense since IP's are too easy to change even for novices or just select all computers and devices.

Where it says 'Layer 7 (disabled)' click the arrow and look down the list for Gnutella (that's the protocol that Limewire uses) and select it. Click add and then save. Reboot the router using the side menu.

I've tested using the same files with the filter turned on and off numerous times and it definately blocks Limewire using Layer7 as opposed to simply port blocking which Limewire can get around easily.
