Can I configure the timeout?
Enter the number of seconds in the [Options] segment in XENU.INI, e.g. as timeout=120. The default value is 60. Note that this isn't "perfect". Microsoft Windows has a bug so that the timeout can't be set the way it should. I am using a workaround advice from Microsoft. However I have observed that it doesn't work if the timeout "hits" while trying to find out if a host name exists.
Alternatively, try this:

Start the Registry Editor (REGEDIT.EXE)
Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ InternetSettings
Select New > DWORD from the Edit menu
Call it ReceiveTimeout with a value of <number of seconds>*1000
(The "hidden" default is 300000, i.e. five minutes, which is too long)
Restart your system
