+Subject: [PATCH] TIMER_STARTTRANSFER: set the same for everyone
+
+- set TIMER_STARTTRANSFER on seeing the first response bytes
+  in the download client writer, not coming from a CONNECT
+- initialized the timer the same way for all protocols
+- remove explicit setting of TIMER_STARTTRANSFER in file.c
+  and c-hyper.c
+
+Closes #13052
