To proxy or not to proxy...

My application needs to talk to the internet. In the
case that the user needs to go through a proxy, I've been
able to request appropriate settings and get out. I have
two questions about this process, however.

1) It takes a very long time for the application to
attempt to communicate to the internet. Is there a way
for me to reduce the wait time by throwing an error
earlier (ie. connection timeout or something)?

2) If I assign a proxy using:
System.Net.GlobalProxySelection.Select, do I override the
machine's global settings? How do I avoid messing things
up?
