- Maximum time in seconds that you allow each transfer to take. This is
- useful for preventing your batch jobs from hanging for hours due to slow
- networks or links going down. Since 7.32.0, this option accepts decimal
- values, but the actual timeout will decrease in accuracy as the specified
- timeout increases in decimal precision.
- If you enable retrying the transfer (--retry) then the maximum time counter is
- reset each time the transfer is retried. You can use --retry-max-time to limit
- the retry time.
- If this option is used several times, the last one will be used.
