That would explain your delay problem. ReadTimeout is expressed in
milliseconds, not seconds. You have it set much too low. That is why you
needed to insert a call to Sleep() in your code earlier. If you want to
timeout after 10 seconds, then you need to set the value to 10000 instead.

Yes, it is. A value of 0 means an infinite timeout (so does a value of -1).

-1 and 0 both represent an infinite timeout. 0 is just a little easier for
the DFM streaming system to handle.
