So true.


...changing timeout won't help you when you are banned, servers don't know
about your timeout settings (but will ban you if you repeatedly drop
connection because of timeout)

No, but a lot of the repeated queries (causing the ban) is because the timeout is reached pre-maturely, and extending the download time allows for more time to download the file, which cuts down on the repeated queries.
