They don't show up at all, Kerstin

A 'timed-out' request (from the visitor's point-of-view) never actually
reached your server, or got a reply back to the visitor - that's why they
are seen by them as 'timed-out' (and not 'refused', or 'non-existent', or
some other error). So the server has no way of knowing they were ever made,
hence, cannot record anything to that effect.

The nearest you might see is an error 206, which means 'content incomplete'
or 'transfer incomplete' or similar. I get this occasionally on a big WMV
video file tutorial on my site, which sometimes people watch half-way
through, and then cancel the viewing at their side. In those circumstances,
because the cancellation emanates from their side, and is responded to (and
cancelled) by my server, it CAN record a 206 error.

But timeouts are different. Think of them instead, as rather like "How many
visitors (that you didn't expect to be popping round) weren't actually able
to find your house or street?" There is, after all, no way you could know,
is there?

Hope this helps,
Regards
Neil
