Lazyweb: Citrix VPN client

Old way of getting our Citrix VPN client onto a new machine:
1) open IE
2) go to fqdn/saclient.exe
3) login
4) it downloads
5) DANCE

New way of getting out Citrix VPN client onto a new machine:
1) open IE
2) go to fqdn/saclient.exe
3) login
4) somewhere between steps 2 and 3, the firewall hardware reboots itself and kicks off everyone who was on the firewall
5) no matter how many times you try for this user in this session, #3 will fail, and if you try #2 again, it will restart the hardware again
6) go to the citrix.com downloads site and notice that not only have they renamed everything and removed 90% of the content that was there, the rest of it now requires you login to see it, let alone download it

So my question, is how in the fuck do you get the Citrix VPN client onto a new machine?

I'm sure one perfectly legitimate answer would be "Assfuck, you should have a copy of that on your network somewhere." and my response to that is both total agreement, and a hearty "go fuck yourself, we don't appear to."

I looked to see where Citrix was handing that file from, and don't see it on any of the webservers that manage its stuff, nor the Citrix server itself, which makes me wonder if it was being hosted from the firewall hardware itself - which I don't see any sign of and question the validity of that line of thinking anyway.

Hate.
