timeout using inetc?

how do i set a timeout using inetc? the manual says "/TIMEOUT INT_MS", but this doesn't seem to work:

inetc::get /NOUNLOAD /CAPTION "Initializing..." /BANNER "nQuake is initializing, please wait..." /TIMEOUT 5000 "${INSTALLER_URL}/nquake.ini" $NQUAKE_INI /END

I've tried using other values (even down to 1) but it never seems to timeout, unless timeout means "retry" or something?

There are few timeout settings for http connection (like INTERNET_OPTION_DATA_RECEIVE_TIMEOUT), inetc sets

      if(timeout > 0)

         lastCnt = InternetSetOption(hSes, INTERNET_OPTION_CONNECT_TIMEOUT, &timeout, sizeof(timeout));

only. BTW if $NQUAKE_INI not includes path, current folder will be used use. And "$NQUAKE_INI" may be better if path included.

$NQUAKE_INI is a temporary file (full path).

so what you're saying is that /TIMEOUT only sets ONE out of A FEW timeout settings, and basically if /TIMEOUT doesn't work for me, i'm screwed? 🙂
