[Sage] Sage feed checking just dies/stalls randomly on same link

[Graham King]

	Stefan,

  This drove me crazy too :-)

  I suspect this is because the standard Sage has no timeout on it's 
connections, so if a server is slow / hanging, then Sage also hangs.

  I added a timeout in my patch, which you can get from here:

   http://www.darkcoding.net/software/sage-graham-patch/

  It also adds some other nice (IMHO) features as well.

  Regards,
  Graham.
