It is: connect timeout -> set to 60 sec
       dns resolve timeout -> set to 120 sec
	  
There is no transfer timeout, but I did found
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT (integer) - The maximum number of
seconds to allow cURL functions to execute.
So I decided to use it this time because I've never
used it before.
I've set it to 300 sec (5min).

So no matter where it "hitch" now - Curl will be
overruled by that 5 min rule.

I did wroten another PHP script which is paresed each
10 min(cron) and is checking the first one, does it
"hangs".
