Or even i want to monitor the internet activity?

Maybe you can try active wall. It can show internet usage in your network.
You can block downloads in http filter module.

Install a content filtering proxy and allow Internet access only through it. It will not be bulletproof, but will certainly improve the situation.

one way is to use firewall-authentication under policy to restric users. You can also use some software to prevent users to download anything from internet like Software Restriction Policies

You need a web gateway that is able to integrate with your user database. So you can block certain users from certain websites and downloads, monitor who went on which website, etc. Or you can invest in a gateway firewall that does similar filtering and can also block certain apps from getting out to the internet as well. This is because they have a list of application signatures. Here is a list of web gateways if anyone looking into one. http://jafsec.com/Web-Security/Secure-Web-Gateway-A-B.html
