I saw your comment in the code:

// doesn't work because it already timeouts after 2 minutes
// return get!(HTTP, ubyte)();

You can actually set timeouts using the get function by providing 
the HTTP instance as a second parameter to get() e.g.:

auto client = HTTP();
client.dataTimeout = dur!"seconds"(100000);
auto data = get!(HTTP,ubyte)("www.dlang.org", client);
