not necessary, you can have "-m 1" and faked new option
"--when_download-timeout 10"
in others words when download began "-m" is a state, timeout is another
state...

grin! CURL has remplaced the timeout management by the "-m" ?!
now when we want to download a file and do others tasks whatever the
state of the file, we must mandatory add a value for "-m" ?

for me best method is to purpose a custimozable timeout-after-connect
value :)
