[Anthill-pro] build artifact retrieval

[Steve Boone]

Aaron,

I think the best way to handle this situation, would be to add a step to
your job that zips up all of the artifacts, and then publish that zip file,
as it's own artifact.

Then your developers can download the one zip file instead of the 50+
artifacts.

Would this work for your team?

Regards,
Steve Boone
