and someone might be able to give you a hint how to increase the file descriptors in FreeBSD. It might be a simple use of the limit or ulimit command but that's out of my expertise.

man sysctl and sysctl.conf for full details; you may end up settling on something like
$ grep maxfiles /etc/sysctl.conf kern.maxfiles=65536 kern.maxfilesperproc=32768
... or whatever fits your capacity and needs.
