[Bug-wget] Timeouts too long?

With Wget's default of 20 tries, and 900-second timeouts, the following
bug report notes that Wget can sit on a download attempt for a total of
2.5 hours (actually, my math puts it at 5).

https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?27141

Obviously, we can adjust these settings in wgetrc, but should that be
necessary? Are people happy with the current timeout settings, and if
not, what are some proposed better values?
