No, when i use -m (--max-time), i ask the program to stop whathever his
case
when download has began...

-m/--max-time <seconds>
*Maximum time in seconds that you allow the whole operation to take.*
This is useful for preventing your batch jobs from hanging for hours due
to slow networks or links going down. See also the --connect-timeout
option.

We can see another trouble, when download has began what is the defaut
timeout ? because
--connect-timeout is not used ;)

--connect-timeout <seconds>
Maximum time in seconds that you allow the connection to the server to
take. This only limits the connection phase, *once curl has connected
this option is of no more use.* See also the -m/--max-time option.

I agree to this sentence of course, easy method but not logic for me ;)

Same as my first sentence :-(
