In almost all cases, the download timeout for autoexec.ipxe is irrelevant: the operation will either succeed or fail relatively quickly (e.g. due to a nonexistent file). The overall download timeout exists only to ensure that an unattended or headless system will not wait indefinitely in the case of a degenerate network response (e.g. an HTTP server that returns an endless trickle of data using chunked transfer encoding without ever reaching the end of the file). The current download timeout is too short if PeerDist content encoding is enabled, since the overall download will abort before the first peer discovery attempt has completed, and without allowing sufficient time for an origin server range request. The single timeout value is currently used for both the download timeout and the sync timeout. The latter timeout exists only to allow network communication to be gracefully quiesced before removing the temporary MNP network device, and may safely be shortened without affecting functionality. Fix by increasing the download timeout from two seconds to 30 seconds, and defining a separate one-second timeout for the sync operation.
