The Plus! sound server is only used the first time you hear a sound to download that sound.
Once the sounds are cached/stored locally (if you have that option on), they will be played from your local storage (your HDD) already. So, as long as you don't remove or clean out your cached sounds, the Plus! sound server is not used anymore to download the sound every time you play that sound.
This is also the reason why you will only see
"downloading sound..." the first time and that it takes a bit longer for the sound to be played for the first time. The later times, the sound will play instantly as it doesn't need to be downloaded again.

Which would be smack in the middle of the active time of some other people around the world. Unfortunatly, a scheduled downtime is always going to hit somebody in the world, you can't do anything about it (other than having some kind of variation so that it aren't always the same people who are hit by it).
