While a job is mid-upload of an artifact to a CIFS share, the file being uploaded appears available to other jobs requesting that artifact. Job requests for the artifact will attempt to download the latest artifact archive before it has been fully uploaded to the CIFS share, causing build errors. Large artifact files make this problem more apparent.

It would be awesome if files could be copied to a (configurable or random) temp file and renamed on copy complete so files do not appear available to other jobs until the copy is complete.

Using Jenkin 1.420 on mac osx 10.6.7 with Publish over CIFS 0.2. Artifacts are being copied to a drobo configured with a file share.
