With FTP there is a lot of TCP handshaking that goes on. I’m assuming that you’re using FTP as the publishing Method?  
I have never used GoDaddy, but I would assume that they also allow you to use SFTP? If so you may want to utilize that. A lot fewer TCP involved, and much more secure. I personally NEVER use FTP, and if the host supports it, I have it turned off.
