When using youtube-dl to download soundcloud tracks, I notice that youtube-dl is messing up the entire track. It either downloads only half the song, or adds onto the song (downloading the real song then adding another half to the song)

Example: I do this to download a persons tracks and it messes up the song length and the song. As an example, I looked at the song "Gwallaboy" that was downloaded, but the song had half of it repearted at the end of its self for some reason (picture attached) A song once 2:20 minutes, which was downloaded as 3:21

Another example is this song:
https://soundcloud.com/loudlordbitch/loud-lord-sky-high
It only downloaded half the song. (picture attached) A song that was 1:51, but downloaded as 1:19.

All mentioned URLs downloaded exactly same as on the web for me thus I'm almost sure it's not youtube-dl who mess things.
Start with reading new issue template and providing all the requested info. Then removing all *.part files and try redownloading.
