oh, interesting. Would it help to add the parameter "requestTimeout" to less then the default value ?  
Description says: If set to a positive number of milliseconds, will override the globally set `httpRequestTimeout` parameter.  
I think first try is to set the global value in settings `httpRequestTimeout` to 10 seconds.
