Description

Description

In https://github.com/pypa/hatch/pull/1531 a DEFAULT_TIMEOUT has been implemented. I think it would be better to be configurable.

Use case/motivation

I use hatch on a server protected by a VPN that slow down the connection and the current default timeout is too small. To make hatch worked I patched the DEFAULT_TIMEOUT value and increased. But that's a dirty temporary solutions.
