Where can I get the pacman manager thats in Archbang? [solved]

In ArchBang when I used the 'pacman' command it had a little yellow pacman eating the pellets as the file downloaded. Anyways, I actually think thats cool so I'm wondering how I can get it.

Just add ILoveCandy in the [options] section of your pacman.conf.

#
# REPOSITORIES
#   - can be defined here or included from another file
#   - pacman will search repositories in the order defined here
#   - local/custom mirrors can be added here or in separate files
#   - repositories listed first will take precedence when packages
#     have identical names, regardless of version number
#   - URLs will have $repo replaced by the name of the current repo
#   - URLs will have $arch replaced by the name of the architecture
#
# Repository entries are of the format:
#       [repo-name]
#       Server = ServerName
#       Include = IncludePath
#
# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.
#

# The testing repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the
# repo name header and Include lines. You can add preferred servers immediately
# after the header, and they will be used before the default mirrors.

#[testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[core]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[extra]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

#[community-testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[community]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

# If you want to run 32 bit applications on your x86_64 system,
# enable the multilib repositories as required here.

#[multilib-testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

#[multilib]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

# An example of a custom package repository.  See the pacman manpage for
# tips on creating your own repositories.

#[Xyne-Any]
#Include = http://xyne.archlinux.ca/repos/xyne-any

You have to comment out

XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c -O %o %u

Small packages are downloaded so fast, that you might not notice the effect if you're using a fast connection. Here, ffmpeg is being 'pacmanned away':
