I'm guessing that this is the cause of the problem - whether the
connection time out is caused by a slow network connection, or by
rtmpdump using too much CPU and having the same effect isn't clear.

Given that you can download things with flvstreamer, I'd suggest you
try building a newer version of rtmpdump and see whether that helps.
