Yes. I want that to be much faster than that. Working with AI is usually an iterative process, which means a lot of importing-exporting back and forth. Drag and drop is just too slow and too cumbersome. Ideally there should be a mode where image is fully synchronized in real time between GIMP and AI toolkit.
In principle yes it does - in case of TCP based protocols, without forwarded ports incoming connections aren't possible. In the context of the main Torrent protocol this means you can only connect to peers that have ports forwarded. This is largely solved by uTP protocol that uses UDP hole punching method to circumvent this.
So the sort answer is no this doesn't matter unless you're using very feature poor torrent client.
Are you unaware of cargo ships and the east coast of Canada?
Yes I know of them. Logistics is the core issue - transport via ships costs money and time. This is why most trade happens between USA, Canada and Mexico in the first place
