At some point I needed to change the socket timeout on a machine to which I had no access. What I did is I added a groovy test step in my project like:

 

import com.eviware.soapui.SoapUI
import com.eviware.soapui.settings.HttpSettings

// Get soapUI settings
def settings = SoapUI.getSettings()
settings.setString(HttpSettings.SOCKET_TIMEOUT,"120000") // set timeout to 120 seconds

This only has to be run once and it can be removed afterwards.
