Using what curl version on what operating system?

5 minutes is more than just a "fairly long" wait in my book. It's more like an
eternity! ;-)

I find two timeouts in libcurl that is exactly 5 minutes by default:

DEFAULT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT and CURL_TIMEOUT_RESOLVE, but both should change if
you have given a different time. I don't know what causes your particular
timeout.

Using strace or a debugger while doing this should be a fairly quick way to
see where the time-out happens.
