This is an attempt to abstract away the differences in machine and server speed. Each server type has it's own timeout delay, but users said they wanted a way to adjust these for their machine performance without setting a single value for all servers, which might be appropriate for some server types but way too long for others.

I think I have a request open somewhere to allow individual timeouts per server; if not I'd like to at least find a way or getting rid of the global setting.

Hi Tim. Is there a plan to have this feature in 2.0
"...allow individual timeouts per server..."
Comment 3 Tim deBoer CLA 2007-05-15 12:58:55 EDT
No, too late for 2.0. Server types can override their defaults to set a better value, but there is no 'default' other than the global ones for local and remote.
Comment 4 Tim deBoer CLA 2007-10-14 17:27:54 EDT
Assigning to Angel since he'll be working on the timeout settings for 3.0. This can probably be duped to the bug used to make the changes.
