This might inspire some additional ideas.
Indeed. This is a very good general-purpose kill-if-hung script, but in this case we "know" which file is being transferred, no? So we could, instead of guessing if the transfer is hung or just taking a long time check if the file size does change (=transfer still in progress) and base the timeout on that, no?

I hope this helps.
