Timeout is too fast when asking user to proceed

[Chris Johnston]

Prior to beginning the download of the new packages, apt-fast asks if you would like to proceed.. If I look away from the screen and then look back, it times out. The timeout seems to be too quick in my opinion. I would like it if the length of the timeout was increased. Thanks.

Hi Chris, which timeout you recommend? Is one minute enough?

I changed status because I need some feedback.

Yes, I think one minute should be good. Thanks

With 1.7.4.X, timeout is set to 60 seconds. But you can increase it with environment variable APT_FAST_TIMEOUT.
Thank you for your enhancement request!
