Even if I run env-update any new shells or anything like that would just use my old limit of 1024. I never had issues like this on rtorrent when I just ran ulimit -n <value> before starting it up but I am guessing wine works differently.

You will have to logout completely and restart your session in order for
it to take effect. 

To test I would try adding the following to /etc/security/limits.conf
<username>	hard	nofile	8192 


Then after restarting your login session, try the following command
# ulimit -Hn
8192

Worked perfectly fine here for me.
