FTP sites in visual studio

Question

It just sucks.

I just dont get it sometimes.

While I am editing my files on the bottom it says:

downloading image.gif...

Why??? I am working on file.aspx. I dont need image.gif!!!

Or downloading web.config like 10 times.

Whats wrong with this thing.

Download the config once! and the same thing goes for all code files.

And dont download images and pages that I AM NOT EDITING.

Why don't you just maintain a local copy and publish the changes to the FTP site. It seems it would be a lot more efficient. Combine that with and SVN server (hosted or self hosted) and you can keep all the changes between the devs in sync with each other not to mention getting merge, diff, and branch functionality.
