In the Server Address... Preferences dialog are two (2) timeout 
values.  The first is a timeout to wait before any data arrives, the 
second is the timeout after transmission has started.  The case you 
have seen is when the second timeout value is reached.  

Mine is 20 seconds, but if you have a slow server, or just a bad 
connection, these timeouts can occur.  If you wish to eliminate these 
timeouts, you can increase the timeout value(s).  This also means that 
you may be waiting a long time in some situations...
