I did some investigating, and the default timeout is None, i.e. no limit. I'm not specifying any timeout in the API call either. I tested (using the "Test Connection" button) with a 15,000 book library (thankyou CovenantNetwork whoever you are) and successfully retrieved 14980 books in around 2 minutes.
Perhaps there is something going on at your end, i.e. proxy server, VPN or something? Could speed be an issue? My broadband is 30Mbits, so not particularly fast.
Also, per your suggestion, I've added an "About" box, which includes a link to this thread. Not that it will do you much good, but some future user may benefit. An update with that and a couple of minor changes to be released in the next couple of days.
Also also, you could try firing off a test query in your browser, using a URL of the form:
Code:
