   Windows has a timeout that's too short? Incredible.   
      
   Most Windows timeouts seem to be like Robocopy, which defaults to   
   re-trying to copy a file every 30 seconds if it is unable to read it. It   
   does this a default 1 million times, so unless you specify different   
   numbers on the command line, it will retry a file for a few days less   
   than a year before going on to the next file.
