Looping a track redownloads the track each time---is this unavoidable?

Recently some of my players moved to areas with a slow Internet connection. Since then they've been complaining that Jukebox tracks looping has sucked up their bandwidth, lagging the voice chat every time the track restarts. Is there a way to mitigate this, or is it a Soundcloud problem?

There really isn't any way around this, sorry. Streaming music will always require at least a certain amount of bandwidth for the players. As for reloading a repeating track, that might be an improvement we can make, I'll definitely mention it and see if it's something we could do. If you are also using video chat, the players that are having bandwidth issues can turn off the video on their end to free up some of the bandwidth.
Yeah, the initial load is obviously inevitable, just wondered if there was some sort of caching you could do to avoid redownloading it every loop. Thanks for looking into it, anyway.
