Increase Connection Timeout Value?

[JonH]

Does anyone know if there is a way via custom properties/config files to increase the amount of time F@H will wait for a response from a work server? It looks like it waits about 20 seconds and gives up. This is probably causing the load on the work servers to be much higher than it should be in some cases as it is handling a very large number of requests that the client is going to give up on, wasting all those resources. If we could increase this to like 90 seconds or 2 minutes, it might help reduce wasted resources on the servers as well as help people get more work units. I tried going to the IP address of one of the work servers that "failed" in a browser, and it came up after about 60 seconds of waiting, indicating that if the F@H client would just wait a little longer for a response, it might end up working.

The time increases after each attempt. I had a 1hr + wait timer a while ago for the CPU

Sorry, I don't mean for the time between attempts, I mean the time between when the network request is sent to the server and when it decides the server is unresponsive. Some of the servers respond "in time" and say no work is available, others are taking a long time to respond at all and I wanted to see if there was a way to have it wait a bit longer on those servers.

See if any of these are the one you are looking for.
