Why can Cruise agents upload large artifacts to the Server?

Cruise agents always compress the artifacts, irrespective of a file or a folder, using ZIP before they transfer them to the server. The server then uncompresses the zip files to the location defined in cruise-config.xml. Cruise uses the system temporary directory to perform the compression/decompression. As of now, Cruise can reliably upload artifacts that are 1GB or lesser in size. So, if the artifact is bigger than this, the task may fail. Also, make sure there is enough disk space on both Agent and Server. This process is slower on Windows than on linux.
