I don't know where Benito is hanging out, but afaik there's no such option at the moment, so this would be a feature-request.

there is a time out in the code, but it is separate for each system. E.g. it is set to 2 minutes on Windows: https://github.com/benibela/internettools/blob/master/internet/w32internetaccess.pas#L392

I guess I could add some command line option

i tried online dating, and it did not work, so I started learning dancing. And I got somewhat depressed about the pointlessness of open source. I made this all open source, so I would have to spend less time on it, but it resulted in me spending far more time on it

Any plans to add this feature
