Thanks Brian, I tried it out with the -sS --max-time 30 options to see what
would happen:

curl -sS --max-time 30 ftp://anonymous:@redqueen.v-system.net/bt3b141207.iso >
bt3.iso

curl: (28) Operation timed out after 30 seconds with 647256 out of 735318016
bytes received

I believe I'll use that (but with a realistic time-out value).
