The default timeout is controlled by the connection's ReadTimeout property.

There are no timeouts implemented for writing. Not in Indy. Not in the
socket API itself. When you send data over a socket, it is not actually
sent over the network immediately. The socket buffers all outgoing data and
then sends it over the network at its own leisure (unless you disable the
buffering, which is a whole topic of its own that does not apply to this
discussion right now).
