Default Web Query -- Timeout Issue

Hi, I have a web query that retrieves data from a web site that posts daily
data. The issue I'm running into is when the data is not yet available the
web query does not timeout until at least 30 minutes (but it does timeout).
I've been trying to find work-arounds that would allow me to set a much
smaller timeout...say 1 minute. I've tried using background queries and
maintaining my own timer, but this seems to be a little buggy, and I've also
tried setting a registry timeout parameter but that didn't seem to work. Is
there a solution to this problem besides dropping the web query and using
either the XMLHttp or IE object? Thanks.
