Re: How do timeouts work?

So just to clarify this, in the LOW_SPEED scenario, the TIME is a
contiguous block of time below the LIMIT and not total time below the
LIMIT, correct?

CURLOPT_TIMEOUT is for the whole operation. If it still transfers after 120
seconds, it'll bail out.
You can make a check for 120 seconds of silence too, if you want that, by
using the CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_LIMIT and CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_TIME options.
