When you exceed a port you start dropping packets, TCP by nature will try to retransimit, eventually the packets will stop re-transmitting and will frankly drop, causing downloads to simply slow down, buffer and just stop working. If your using RTMFP, it uses UDP, and at that point your just screwed
