--speed-time

If a transfer runs slower than speed-limit bytes per second during a speed-time period, the transfer is aborted. If speed-time is used, the default speed-limit is 1 unless set with --speed-limit.

This option controls transfers (in both directions) but does not affect slow connects etc. If this is a concern for you, try the --connect-timeout option.
