That script sets the default maximum transfer time to 180 seconds
[1][2][3]. If the transfer takes longer than that it fails. That is too
short an amount of time to set as the default. In my opinion it rarely
makes sense to set that option. If you know the bandwidth and the size
of the file you are downloading even then it would need to be a very
high number to account for any possible network conditions. In this case
it looks like neither is known. I suggest change it to 0 in the conf to
disable and open an issue in their repo to discuss this with them.
