A handful of timeouts per day, when I'm doing hundreds of thousands of 
urlfetches per day, is utterly inconsequential and still qualifies as 
rock-solid in my book.  There are better places to spend my time 
optimizing. I would dare to say that any hosted service would experience 
the odd and rare timeout; not due to software, but just simply due to 
randomness. Perhaps the external server was having a slow day. Perhaps a 
router in the middle decided to break down. There's literally an infinite 
number of things that could go wrong. 

If you're experiencing continuous problems with a specific server, then you 
might want to check that particular server for any issues.
