You shouldn't need to have such a long timeout. The timeout is not over the whole length of the run, only the time since the last data was transferred. It's a mystery to me why it quits after 66 minutes rather than 5 hours, but the real question is why it stops transferring data for so long. Perhaps something went wrong with the network. I can't connect to that server to try it, perhaps it is behind a firewall.
