How to make curl reconnect after 60"?

Question

Sometimes, curl freezes:

$ curl -O 'http://www.site.com/index.html'

  www.site.com/index.html --> index.html
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed
  0     0    0     0    0     0      0      0 --:--:--  0:02:17 --:--:--     0^C

After waiting for 137", I hit Ctrl-C, and re-download.

It just takes 10" to download.

It sounds like, curl is waiting for response for ever.
