Below solution fixed the issue for me.
- Open Windows Registry Editor: Start -> Run -> type regedit Before making any changes backup Windows Registry using "Export" option.
- Locate the following section:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
- Create the following new DWORD keys with decimal values as shown in the picture :
ReceiveTimeout=480000
KeepAliveTimeout=180000
ServerInfoTimeout=180000
In this example, the ReceiveTimeout setting is 8 minutes. The KeepAliveTimeout and ServerInfoTimeout settings are 3 minutes. Set these values high enough to fulfill large requests.
