Is having a hard-coded timeout really a good idea? I have had the same 
problem; surely there must be a better way of implementing this than a 
timeout (which is essentially guessing how fast everyone's internet 
connection/machine would be)?

Meanwhile perhaps the timeout should be changed to a very large value; 
and maybe even a mention of where the log is kept 
(/tmp/vds_bootstrap...) so the user can see the progress.
