This script is used by:
https://distfiles.adelielinux.org/source/archive/
and recently, some tarballs were failing to download:
28 system/skalibs skalibs-2.14.1.1.tar.gz
28 user/apaste apaste-0.0.2.0.tar.gz
The connection completes after ~60 seconds.
A real-world example: one of our networks does not
have a PTR record for the WAN address through which
we are connecting to the Internet.
1.253.98.38.in-addr.arpa. 43188 IN PTR zv.io.
254.42.232.104.in-addr.arpa. 1200 IN PTR zv.io.
(empty)
When connecting to a server like skarnet.org, which
enables DNS lookup for logging purposes, the connection
will hang for up to 60 seconds (default).
<+skarnet> check the PTR resolution for your IP address,
because something's wrong with it. It should either answer
something, or answer nodata, but it should *answer*
Until we investigate/fix that, use a 2-minute timeout.
