Html Agility Pack is open souce. Thats why you may modify source yurself. For first add this code to class HtmlWeb:

private int _timeout = 20000;

public int Timeout 
    { 
        get { return _timeout; } 
        set
        {
            if (_timeout < 1) 
                throw new ArgumentException("Timeout must be greater then zero.");
            _timeout = value;
        }
    }

Then find this method

private HttpStatusCode Get(Uri uri, string method, string path, HtmlDocument doc, IWebProxy proxy, ICredentials creds)

and modify it:

req = WebRequest.Create(uri) as HttpWebRequest;
req.Method = method;
req.UserAgent = UserAgent;
req.Timeout = Timeout; //add this

Or something like that:

htmlWeb.PreRequest = request =>
            {
                request.Timeout = 15000;
                return true;
            };
