| The retry timer is reset before the first transfer attempt. Retries will be |
| done as usual (see --retry) as long as the timer hasn't reached this given |
| limit. Notice that if the timer hasn't reached the limit, the request will be |
| made and while performing, it may take longer than this given time period. To |
| limit a single request\'s maximum time, use --max-time. Set this option to |
| zero to not timeout retries. |
| |
| If this option is used several times, the last one will be used. |
