+Help: Maximum time allowed for the transfer
+See-also: connect-timeout
+---
+Maximum time in seconds that you allow the whole operation 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 this option is used several times, the last one will be used.
