Can we get a update checker timeout setting

    I work off localhost and regularly get this message:

    Warning: An unexpected error occurred. Something may be wrong with WordPress.org or this server’s configuration.

    I’ve googled before without any luck other than learning it was a computer to server comms issue.

    Today I decided to really dig deep. Doing that I discovered each plugin only has 3 second timeout to check its server for an update. I appreciate the need for this number to below as a user could have dozens of plugins.

    The timeout though is hard coded. I changed mine to 5 and the problem went away! 😀

    Obviously I don’t want to hack WP each time I upgrade, so I am requesting it be changed to a constant that we can then tweak via wp-config.php.

    I imagine the same applies to themes.

    Thanks
