The data size is 1.6GB and it is transfered from India to Europe. The copy will take too much time and might hog the network on the sending side. There might be also limitations on what data sizes are allowed over the network. Usually the network folks recommend to ftp vs copy and ftp is faster. The scenerio described si the main issue.

Uncompress and untar the file on the other side. It shouldn't be a problem.
