I am trying to do this with wget:

Problem: the site takes FOREVER to complete its download. Dribble,
dribble, dribble. Occasionally is just stops. And wget hangs.
I fired this web page up in Firefox ten minutes ago and it is still
loading!
Is there a way to get wget to just time out after a while?
curl has -m option for that
Hi Vladimir,
-m/--max-time <seconds>
Maximum time in seconds that you allow the whole
operation to take. This is useful for preventing
your batch jobs from hanging for hours due to slow
networks or links going down. See also the
--connect-timeout option.
If this option is used several times, the last one
will be used.
Dang. Missed that. I thought I had read the man page line by
line too.
Thank you!
