      Hi,
      I found hardcoded timeout parameters in moodle/repository/lib.php

      This timeout results that I can't get a 25 MB video file from Dropbox to Moodle. This is a blocker for the Dropbox plugin and for all other repositories.

      The parameter should be configurable to higher values in config.php.
      If there is no setting in config.php then Moodle uses the default timeout.
      The best thing would be if the Moodle admin can set the timeout in the repository settings moodle/admin/settings.php?section=managerepositoriescommon

      Best regards, Ralf
