Update fails on unreliable connection

[kelna]

Affected Version

yay v12.4.2 - libalpm v15.0.0

Describe the bug

When attempting to update on a slow and unreliable network (eg. on a train), the process often times out and fails with this error message: "Operation too slow. Less than 1 bytes/sec transferred the last 10 seconds"

Reproduction Steps

1. Get on train.
2. Start upgrading the system.
3. Watch as connection speed changes, and when network drops out, it fails.
4. Repeat 2-3. endlessly.

Expected behavior

There should be a way of making yay more patient. It would be very nice to be able to set the timeout limit. Even nicer if yay would remember that it just failed and the next try would last longer.

Output

"Operation too slow. Less than 1 bytes/sec transferred the last 10 seconds"

"Operation too slow. Less than 1 bytes/sec transferred the last 10 seconds"

This output is actually from yay running pacman. Therefore, it applies to pacman too and may be worth it to make this issue at pacman’s repository. There’s not much yay can do in this scenario.
