Binary package hint: nautilus

Scenario 1: i am dragging a file from one of my home directories to a bookmarked ftp destination on the sidebar. Nautilus's main window disppears with just a small note on the task-bar saying 'Starting ftp'. Several seconds later the task-bar entry disappears and so does Nautilus. I happen to know this ftp server is unresponsive every few requests but Nautilus is also unresponsive during this time and there's no dialog confirming what it's doing that i can 'quit' out of or 'cancel'. Sometimes i get an error saying 'Error copying this file, Retry or Skip' but more often than not i i have to brute-force restart Nautilus and navigate back to where i started and do the thing again. Also during this time i cannot do any other operations that involve Nautilus.

Scenario 2: i save a local file in my editor and navigate to Nautilus which is in the middle of redrawing some files listed in the main window. Working fast i quickly drag a file over to the same bookmarked ftp location sidebar still during Nautilus redrawing and as soon as i release the mouse button Nautilus has disappeared.
 the first scenario.

This is a bit crippling as i'm working on PHP scripts that are complicated to debug and am losing time waiting for Nautilus to respond and having to manually restart each time this is happening.

Obviously i appreciate i be smart and set-up my PHP scripts locally so avoiding those FTP bottlenecks but it's time consuming and i can't afford it at the moment.

I would appreciate any help!! :)
