(Personally, I wouldn't want to be using 2048 bit RSA for the actual stream encryption - that's something that IDEA or similar is much better for.
Using asymmetric cryptography based on primes (*especially* RSA) for the exchange of actual data is a reliable way to break the security of communications. They are susceptible to the "known plaintext" class of attacks unless random padding is used to mitigate this issue. Anyway, it is rather a waste - symmertic ciphers are significantly more efficient.
