I'm using WP-CLI to maintain WordPress environments, and sometimes I get an issue about timeout (each one with a different milliseconds value to trigger it) like that:

Error: Ocorreu um erro inesperado. Pode estar algo errado com o WordPress.org ou com a configuração deste servidor. Se continuar com problemas, por favor tente pedir ajuda no fórum de suporte. "cURL error 28: Connection timed out after 3002 milliseconds"

This one I got while executing the following command: wp language plugin install pt_PT --all

After months trying to change those timeout settings, search in documentations and hacking your code, I finally found some comments of others saying those timeout values are hard-coded for each request with a different value (which explains why the timeout values were different sometimes into the error messages) without any way to override it.

My questions are:

• Am I missing something, or I really can't change those timeout values?
• Why you keep all those timeouts hard-coded and impossible to override?
