Pacman suggestion
I notice pacman tells you the expected filesize, and the filesize retrieved as you get downloads. But it seems to be a cycling list until its done. Maybe pacman could include a "10 items left" or "x megabytes left" feature (in accordance with the first 2 previews) so users know the data volume (not process %) left to be acquired. The % thing is dependent or internet speed but the "data remaining" feature is pretty fixed.

And are MUCH more likely to get included if a patch and/or example is included.

Re: Pacman suggestion
And even less likely when there is already an option... look at TotalDownload in "man pacman.conf"

Hey! You added that feature just now while nobody was looking, didn't you?

That option was added in pacman 3.1 but it may have behaved differently back then https://projects.archlinux.org/pacman.g … /NEWS#n518

Re: Pacman suggestion
OP - please mark as [solved]. Allan, please get back to breaking things rather than fixing issues before they come up here....
