How to config timeout when using the RPC interface of aria2?

Question

I'm using the xmlrpclib of Python to interact with aria2 to manage files to download.

In the documentation , the only option that's shown in example is: dir .

I can also use out to specify the filename, now I wonder how to config things like -timeout and --connect-timeout .

I've tried timeout and connect_timeout , but that doesn't work.

You need to set timeout on the socket library level:

import socket
socket.setdefaulttimeout(<your_value>)

This value will be used by xmlrpclib .
