    "connection timed out" error, r(2)


{title:Description}

{pstd}
If you see

		{err:connection timed out}
		{search r(2):r(2);}

{pstd}
then an Internet connection has timed out.  This can happen when

{phang2}
a.  the connection between you and the host is slow, or

{phang2}
b.  the connection between you and the host disappeared and so eventually
    "timed out".

{pstd}
In the case of (b), wait a while (say 5 minutes) and try again (sometimes
pieces of the Internet can break for up to a day, but that is rare).  In the
case of (a), you can reset the limits for what constitutes "timed out".  There
are two numbers to set.


{title:timeout1:  the time to establish the initial connection}

{pstd}
By default, Stata waits 120 seconds (2 minutes) before declaring a timeout.
You can change the limit:

		{cmd:. set timeout1} {it:#seconds}

{pstd}
You might try doubling the usual limit and specify 240.  {it:#seconds} must be
between 1 and 32,000.


{title:timeout2:  the time to retrieve data from an open connection}

{pstd}
By default, Stata waits 300 seconds (5 minutes) before declaring a timeout.
To change the limit, type

		{cmd:. set timeout2} {it:#seconds}

{pstd}
You might try doubling the usual limit and specify 600.
{it:#seconds} must be between 1 and 32,000.


{title:Note:  changes are remembered automatically}

{pstd}
When you reset {cmd:timeout1} and {cmd:timeout2}, Stata will remember the
new settings between sessions.  If you want to change the limits back to
the defaults, type

		{cmd:. set timeout1 120}
		{cmd:. set timeout2 300}
