cURL timeout - how long for a large file?

Hi

 

I'm currently writing a script that basically downloads videos from a specific page.

I am downloading with cURL however with some files, they're so large cURL is timing out.

 

This is causing either

a) PHP to timeout

b) PHP memory to run out

c) cURL to stop once defined timeout limit is reached

 

This means that some files are only partitially downloaded as some files are over 100mb and some are only 20mb

 

I have

set_time_limit(0);

and

ini_set("memory_limit","500M");

set but is there a way to make it so PHP will not timeout and the cURL session will not timeout until the file is downloaded?
