Sometimes when downloading packages the transfer rate drops in to the negative. Not only is this incorrect, but it messes with the allignment of the progress bars. So lets make sure it's always >= 0.

This may not be the best fix as it does not address the root issue. But I have no idea what the root issue is so it's on somebody else to fix that.
-1. The issue is that when alpm falls over to a new mirror the download counter restarts. pacman goes from seeing X bytes downloaded to 0 and thinks -X bytes were just downloaded. I'm not sure how alpm should be presenting that event to frontends, but I would say clamping to 0 is just masking problems.
Is this a recent regression with the parallel downloads? This has been fixed in the past - see commit e83e868a77865d42a33076605f9a90a165f7c93a
Yup.
