Why?
Comment by Aleks (pethead) - Monday, 25 January 2016, 14:00 GMT
Like apt-get, sir.

That does not answer the question... Why do you need this information? What would you use it for?

To sure it is downloading from my top of mirrorlist

pacman always downloads from the top of the mirrorlist and informs you when it fails.
