The problem is that it won't work. Even if you know the number of
connections, you have no guarantee that some of them won't go away
while you are waiting for acks or that some peers aren't hung-up and
will never send an ack. The timeout is the only reliable way to handle
the responses.

I would strongly advise not to, but, of course, if you insist on
shooting yourself in the foot, modifying the library to expose the
number of connections should be relatively easy :)
