 Ok. I'll lower that back to a more sane value. I could have sworn it used
 to be just a "timeout" though. So if you took more than how ever many
 seconds to download, it would cut you off. Was this something that was
 changed? Or maybe i'm thinking of NCSA. :)
 
 But still, I don't see why upgrading to 1.2.5 would trigger this problem.
 If anything, lowering the timeout will just cover up whatever the real
 problem is. I mean, whatever I can take, i'll take. And if i'm the only
 one reporting this problem, then there's no sense in spending all sorts of
 time investigating it.
 Thanks a lot for your time.

 Nope, don't use it.
