If you are trying to download a large file, the time taken to start the
transfer could be small but the actual transfer will take time.
So setting a timeout based on an estimate for the entire transfer may
not be the best thing to do.

FTP and HTTP shouldn't be very different with respect to this.

I'll consider using the progress callback for this.
