             Project: JSword
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: o.c.common.util
         Environment: Android mobile

Can we consider increasing the timeout value at the bottom of o.c.common.util.WebResource.java?  I am using a timeout of 3 seconds in And Bible and it seems to have helped connection reliability.

I suspect the timeout was originally 2 seconds because there is a comment half way down the file (which probably needs correcting) that says:
        // Set a 2 second timeout on getting a connection.
and then the code sets the timeout to 0.75 sec.

Mobile phones have very variable connections and some informal tests seemed to show that increasing the timeout to 3 seconds had a beneficial affect.

Alternatively, another possibility might be to add a static setter:
   public static void setTimeout(int timeout)
