Why should it be blocked?
P2P is just an IP connection between two machines on a specific port,
so unless the provider is rather draconian in only letting through
specific ports (in my experience rare) it would work.

Along with millions of others, so why single out one of them?
I think the OP is really asking "which mobile phone networks" allow
it.

Maybe, maybe not.

Most networks do block something. All I have tried, except Voda, block
the Windows PPTP VPN for example.

P2P allows you to saturate your network connection. If everyone did
it, the network would collapse - one person leeching music/films would
use the bandwidth normally capable of serving....well, I'm not going
to make up a number but it's more than a handful of people making
phone calls or sending texts.
I'm not sure what the argument for not letting people use instant
messaging on most internet data price plans, however. I'd imagine
it's because it threatens text message use, although it's possible
there is actually a technical reason for it. Anyone know?

Well you are sadly ignorant on the subject in that case.

Obviously not as much as you though or you might have been prepared to
enlighten me [and everyone else]

I really don't understand your point. Almost every single ISP in the
UK allows P2P connections. Thousands of private networks do, as well.
Enumerating a list of them wouldn't be helpful to anyone.
But, since this is a mobile telecom newsgroup, the OP was clearly
asking which mobile phone networks allow P2P. That's an entirely
different question to the one you answered, because you misunderstood
the question.
Mike.

I've used SymTorrent on my 3UK Nokia N73 with X-Series Silver.
Downloaded a full album and wasn't charged for it, so included in the 1GB
usage allowed by 3.

Install SymTorrent from http://symtorrent.aut.bme.hu
Using the services browser (Web browser and Opera wont let me download the
torrent file) download a torrent file (Piratebay, mybittorrent, etc..) to
the Torrent folder on the phone/memory card.
Open up SymTorrent and select the file.
That's all I did, nothing fancy to get it working.
I've found with some apps which access the internet that it will only work
if you access a copy of the 3 connection. Couldn't get Sync to work with
ScheduleWorld, that is until I made a copy of the 3 connection and used that
as the access point. Might be worth a try.
