Hello,

I am trying to download a few files one after another from a remote
server. Problem is that I don't know how to, or if I am able at all,
set a time out for download. I don't want to time out whole script,
just a part if file won't download in 2mins then skip to the next one.
Previously, I had a Javascript implementation with AJAX, this time I
thought of doing it in PHP since PHP has far better array functions, I
don't have to do most from scratch. Yet, I with PHP implementation I
came to a problem where I am unable to cancel the download if it runs
more than so many minutes. Yet, as I said, I don't want to quit the
script completely, all I need is to skip to the next file and try that.

Any help? Please?
