    Use FortiGuard WebFiltering service, search for Potentially Bandwidth Consuming Category and block from there.

    Which online music website you cannot block? Add it to URL filter and block

    how about blocking the file extensions instead? like .mp3 etc... I would of expected music sites to fall under a specific catagory, do they actually fall under the bandwidth consuming one? maybe they have a different one.

    it could help too, but blocking multicast/broadcast audio/video streaming is also necessary.

    Just had a look on the fortinet site and it confirms it should be under the " Potentially Bandwidth Consuming " section, under subsection " Multimedia download" . However, if you do a URL lookup on the url lookup site [link] http://www.fortiguardcenter.com/webfiltering/webfiltering2.html [/link] it shows itunes.com as being under " freeware download" . problem is, so many companies are now selling music under their website, like supermarket sites, that i suppose you cannot classify the entire site as one particular thing. Ie. do you classify it as a online shop? or music site, etc.. file blocking would be better, but obviously that cannot work for https unfortunately.
