There's actually no timeout in QNAM. That timeout you're seeing is the QTcpSocket connection timeout. And no, it can't be changed.

If you want something shorter, create a QTimer.

The only problem, is QNetworkRequests::abort isn't a slot :(  So I have to create an intermediary slot, figure out which request timedout, and abort it.
