Hi Wilko, this is the behavior after the suggestions got from Andreas/Derek (don't remember which one of them). They said that a short timeout with a low number of retries (for the first connection only) was better for an interactive tool. Since nobody complained about this, I changed the defaults according to the request. Anyway you can change the number of the first-connection retries by specifying -DIFirstConnectMaxCnt n in the command line. The default value for the client is 150, overridden by xrdcp to 1. The default value that xrdcp sets for the connection timeout is 15 secs. So, if you specify to retry for 100 times, you will get a total timeout of 1500 seconds. I remark that we are speaking about the values that xrdcp overrides. The client defaults are different. If from discussion on this list it comes out that there is a better choice for those defaults, I will change them acccordingly of course.
