I want to know whether we should use the "cache" mechanism of CI for these third-party softwares? I somehow feel strange that we would download these softwares in every CI.

And if we have the caches, we could somehow avoid problems by hitting the cache when third-party services were down. However, I do not dive into the CI before, so there may be something wrong about my statement.
