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.

But there is little issue with receiving sounds, AFAIK, only one of my friends has trouble receiving them at all, the problem is sending the sounds in the first place.
