First of all, the patch and the idea behind it looks great, even if it's not BC. The code looks fine to me, I had some doubts about the force parameter being useful, but if that is supposed to tell the frontend "hey, wipe away the partially downloaded file if there's one", then it's completely fine.
Actually force is stronger than that : it forces the file to be (re)downloaded, no matter what (whether there is already a complete or partial file). And that's what we need for pacman -Syy
I'm all for having this in (but please, increase the .so version :) )
This kind of patch only goes in major release. Major release are always so-bumped. So don't worry :)
