* I have on-premises gitlab 13.8.3 and runners 13.8.0. * I used `FF_USE_FASTZIP: "true"` globally in .gitlab-ci.yml * I have mostly large binary artifacts. In one job compression/upload step was reduced from 13 minutes to 3 minutes (hooray, feature stays :-) ) * In 2 different jobs I have reproductible problem: ``` Uploading artifacts for successful job 03:25 Uploading artifacts...

However they are several GB of binary data. I have admin access to server, so I can provide some logs if you request any.
