Thanks for your feedback.

An issue I still see is that many people won't know how to do a download 
timeout for buildout -- that certainly wasn't on the top of my head when 
I thought about this issue, for instance. If someone installs Grok using 
grokproject for the first time, we wouldn't people to get stuck and walk 
away because some piece of infrastructure was down.

This implies that grokproject should trigger buildout with such a 
timeout set up.

And how dangerous would it be to set such a timeout globally in the 
default.cfg of buildout?
