UDP has no retry mechanism so if you loose any of the 22 packets involved in a 32k transfer then you need to start again. A powerful server sending to a weaker client is a good way to ensure that packets are lost. TCP has mechanism to ensure that packets are not lost and hence works better when the packet recipient is the weaker partner.
