Sure, what I meant was that if you redirect the content back to the
workstation (Presuming workstation, not thin client, and if so, don't
know the capabilities of said thin client) then you can stream the
data to the workstation outside of ICA. This would involve setting up
a streaming server so that you can stream the data back to the client
as opposed to it being a SMB / CIFS file copy where it will hit your
WAN as hard as it can. Also, when doing this, you can control (To some
extent) the quality and bandwidth utilisation of the clients.
