 * From: Dag-Erling Smorgrav <des@flood.ping.uio.no>

 * fetch(1) can hang for a very long time (if not forever) if the server
 * stops responding but doesn't close the connection. I had that problem
 * with ei5nazha.yz.yamagata-u.ac.jp trying to fetch the w3m distfile;
 * fetch hung for five or six minutes before I killed it. I therefore
 * suggest that the default FETCH_CMD in bsd.port.mk be changed from
 * 'fetch -A' to 'fetch -A -T60' or something.

Adding a timeout value is fine, but isn't 60 seconds a tad too short? :)
