Because, as stated in other messages in this thread sent yesterday, Konqueror 
just waits for data and can not say wether the data isn't coming because of 
an error or just a slow connection or high system load. Only thing left for 
konqueror is to wait for the kernel / the underlying system to send the error 
if there is one...

If you don't want your kernel to retry to read data that long, you have to 
hack your kernel, not konqueror.
