To be precise, the FD limit on Windows is 2048, it's hard coded in
the MS C Runtime Library.

Another thing to check is any antivirus software running on the proxy machine.

Please also note that the Windows 2008 support in the 2.7 STABLE6 and
previous is not optimal (fixed in the next 2.7 STABLE7), but this it
should not impact on throughput.
