Description:
I use
XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c -O %o %u
and it seems that
TotalDownload
as described in
man pacman.conf
" TotalDownload
When downloading, display the amount downloaded, download rate, ETA, and completed percentage of the entire download list rather than the percent of each individual download target. The progress bar is still based solely on the current file download."
did not work with that.
The download rate, ETA etc was still calculated for each target individually.

pacman 4.1.0-2
wget 1.14-2

This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Won't fix
Additional comments about closing:  working as intended. If you want overall progress, use the internal downloader. The only reason you have progress bars with individual downloads is because the external tool provides this itself.

Turns out, we don't track *any* progress when you use an external downloader. This is WAI.
