How is it supposed to know that the port is being blocked?  If it 
doesn't get a response, it's much more likely to be a problem with the 
remote server than a block on a randomly-chosen port.

And as was pointed out, you can configure a specific port for it to use, 
if you know you have blocks on ports in the ephemeral range.
