Description

FastSync has no command-line flag to set I/O or connection timeouts. The socket timeout is hardcoded to 30 seconds in transport_tcp.c:19 (set_socket_timeouts()). Users working with slow networks or large transfers need finer control:

--timeout <sec> for I/O operations (read/write)
--contimeout <sec> for connection establishment

Location

src/client/client_cli.c (needs flag parsing)
src/shared/transport_tcp.c:17-36 (hardcoded 30s timeout)
src/shared/config.h (needs new Config fields)

Suggested Fix

Add timeout_sec (default 30) and contimeout_sec (default 10) fields to the Config struct. Parse --timeout and --contimeout in client_cli.c. Pass values to set_socket_timeouts() and client_connect().
