Well they do not time-out. They just download with a slow speed. The
remote server (which is my own) has a 100Mbit Full-Duplex connection.
And should give like 10Mbyte p/s download speed on an similar connection.
At home I have a 1Mbit connection. Which gives normally a download of
110kbyte p/s. And that's the speed I should have when I download from my
own co-located server @ 100MBit. But it gives only 5kbyte p/s.

If i would have used a dns that could not resolve the host of my
server, i couldn't even log in on ssh. So that's should not and
could not be the problem. :(

I'm out of idea's what i could be.
