Comment(by tick):

 In my own testing, opkg will try very hard to download the package unless.
 Even I plug and unplug the usb cable for several times (reconstruct the
 internet settings) opkg will retry and continuing it's process. Finishes
 it job.

 But if I remove the network and never recover it (longer than 10 minutes)
 It still try to connect, but not working anymore.

 Some of the packages will takes a long time to get update, so the timeout
 cannot be too short.

 PLEASE DO NOT INSTALL/UPDATE when the network is TOO BAD. (It can recover
 from some disconnection, but cannot survive for too bad network condition)

 I will add the timeout scheme for that, but it will be very long. (We
 indeed may have very large packages)

 This happens in VERY BAD NETWORK condition.

 Idea:
 1. Add a Cancel Button after long wait?
 2. Just let user kill assassin?
 3. Let user wait a long time, and get a Error message? <-- Current I will
 do
