[solved in pacman 4] Ctrl-C'ing pacman can sometimes take a long time

Anyone else see this from time to time?  I hit Ctrl-C on pacman and as I'm typing this, pacman still hasn't stopped.  I hate Ctrl-Z-and-kill-%1'ing pacman, but sometimes I can't wait the 5 minutes or so it takes to Ctrl-C.

Hmm, looks like it's timing out on a mirror during this time...

The situation is significantly better in pacman 4 because curl uses non-blocking I/O (and libfetch, which powers pacman 3.x does not).
