I don't think there's a deep reason why url-retrieve-synchronously can't
run from a timer. If you find a problem with it, please make a proper
bug report, with the usual detailed information.
Note that url-retrieve-synchronously may block for indefinite amounts of
time waiting for some remote host to answer, so if run from a timer,
you'll need/want with-local-quit (or while-no-input) so the user can
interrupt it if needed.
