Have a look at this tutorial http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/78266-hosts-file-use-windows-7-vista.html

You are right about "127.0.0.1 and then the url address of each torrent address"

Malwarebytes Premium will block torrent sites.

However, it can be easily defeated by disabling Malwarebytes depending on the permissions granted the user.

Windows firewall allows access based on programs as well you can deny torrent exercise from Internet
