I'd suggest doing what it suggests - increase the timeout to a higher value. I just ran this on my computer and was able to save the file, thought it took ~30 seconds.
websave('data.tar.gz','https://www.cs.toronto.edu/~kriz/cifar-10-matlab.tar.gz')
You can use weboptions to modify it.
Interestingly, when I checked, my timeout was also set to 5 but was able to download just fine. Do you have a firewall that is perhaps blocking you from accessing this?
