As discussed here, the two second timeout period is unreasonably short for a satellite connection. I would have bumped that thread if I could.
I'll add this much: This request isn't for me, I have a connection fast enough for uploading builds. But butler reliably never works for me over a satellite connection. I don't want to come across as unappreciative, because itch as a whole has been such a force for good, but the thread I linked had a developer concede to having to drive an hour to a place with a faster connection to upload builds, and it was never followed up on. I don't think that's cool. This arbitrarily low number is exclusionary to devs in more remote or less developed areas.
