Hey! I woke up at 06:00 to check what was wrong with a service. It turned out, a server in Germany could not reach a server in Finland in the 20" timeout I had set.

You set your timeout in inches? I thought you were all metric over tehre, except for socket drivers which are universally imperial :P
