I believe that curl has options to specify the default timeouts for connect and other time related parameters.

See
--connect-timeout
-m/--max-time
--retry
--retry-delay
--retry-max-time

From the curl manual for details about the command line.

Wget is written by different people potentially than curl so it is reasonable that the defaults could be different not to mention about startup configuration files that could be coming into play. Also users of curl and wget could potentially be different and have different usage scenarios which could be a reason for the differences.

Thanks,
Tim
