Summary and Info:
When `ParallelDownloads` is enabled, pacman does not respect proxy environment variables.

Steps to Reproduce:
Use GNOME Settings to set http(s) and socks proxies, or manually set `ALL_PROXY`, `HTTP_PROXY`, `HTTPS_PROXY`, `all_proxy`, `http_proxy`, `https_proxy` in shell. Set `ParallelDownloads` to a positive number. Run `pacman -Syu`.

Expected Behavior:
All downloads use the proxy.

Actual Behavior:
Only the package database synchronization phrase uses the proxy. Actual downloads do not use the proxy.

Post the --debug output from an update where multiple packages are downloaded.

For some reason I can no longer reproduce it myself. Not sure what happened, but probably not a pacman bug. You can close it now. Sorry about this :(
