  To solve the timeout issue, I unzipped the archive in the admin folder then in the configure.php put a block comment from line 39 to line 59. Install was done in record time.
  
  Steps taken
  
  1. File Transfer
  
  * On your server, create a folder in your Joomla instance under administrator/components called com\_civicrm.
  * On your computer unzip your Joomla install package (CiviCRM-5.32.2-Joomla). go to CiviCRM-5.32.2-joomla\com\_civicrm\admin
  * On your server copy all the files and folders in this directory to your Joomla instance under administrator/components/com\_civicrm.
  * Unzip the civicrm.zip and it should create a fold called civiCRM under the com\_civicrm folder.
  
  2. Configuration Scripting
  
  * Edit the configure.php in the administrator/components/com\_civicrm folder on your server.
  * Block comment (/\* at line 39 and \*/ at line 59) the unzip block of the script.
  
  3. Run the Joomla install.
  
  This is what worked for me and the install was much faster.
