Description

Evaluate the benefits/drawbacks of compressing the file before transferring and decompressing it afterwards. This might be beneficial for large files where the time taken to compress and decompress outweighs the time spend in sending the uncompressed file.

You can start looking into how this can be done and it can be implemented after #1 is resolved.
