Description:

The display during package download progress shows package progress over several lines.
This could be caused by the extra '-' in a negative download rate causing the progress to drop to the next line.
The system update was performed when tethered to a mobile phone exhibiting slow download speeds and the default ParallelDownloads of 5.
See attached screenshot.

Aside from editing ParallelDownloads in pacman.conf, I couldn't determine a command line option to do this temporarily.

Steps to reproduce:

Install pacman 6.0.0alpha1-1
Run pacman -Syu over a slow connection, total download rate around 300 KiB/s, the default ParallelDownloads of 5 and an update containing several large package download sizes.
