When I want to update IDEA I often run into the problem of a time out. See excerpt of log file below. After retrying a few times the update can be downloaded. Also, I get time outs when trying to update certain plugins. I think the reason is some kind of slow connection because of company proxy, but I'm not sure. That's a big problem for us as all people in our company also have these issues.
Is there a way to increase the value of the timeout? I didn't find something in configuration or idea.properties.
