FWIW, I use xterm (currently at version 367), and I also noticed a
difference in the output after the recent pacman upgrade.  I haven't
seen the level of disruption reported in this thread, but I'm pretty
sure that I didn't see the "total" bandwidth/time output until the
downloads were complete before, either.  There's an extra blank line
after that total line, too, instead of whatever is being downloaded
showing progress on the very last line of the xterm window.

(I figured it was a small improvement to see that line during the
downloads, and let it go at that.  No, I have no physical evidence of
the change, only my recollection.)
