What if someone makes a mistake and has a large number of files downloading? The only way to stop this process is to completely kill NB. I haven't looked to see what libraries are being used, but this is certainly possible to achieve when using the Apache libraries for FTP. To me this is a big usability issue. Too, this information could be shown in the as files are being downloaded in the project dialog instead of just down in the bottom under a modal project dialog. Or, perhaps even better, the rest of the project can be setup and the files can start to be downloaded. If the NB file listener support allows it, NB could turn off file events for that directory while that is taking place, and the project could be disabled or something allowing the IDE to still be able to be used for other projects while that process takes place as it is extremely long on good sized sites.
