timeout is very long when website is down, no way to start the game

When the website is down…

• the updater is waiting a very long time before timing out;
• the game is not automatically started even if already there;
• the download page is displayed even if we know the download can't work;
• there is no button to start the game.

If download is manually started:

• waiting for timeout is very long;
• the download attempt do not abort when the timeout is reached (only a notice is displayed);
• the timeout notice does not last enough and may not be noticed;
• there is still no button to start the game.

It also means the udpater can't be used as a game launcher in a disconnected LAN (too bad for people living on the far side of the moon).

These ones have been fixed by just launching the game (or going to the update screen if none is installed) if no versions reply has been received after a timeout.
