Hm, I don't like % between ##, I think this would be ok:
gcc-libs-4.2.2-2-i686   1081.1K  665.7K/s 00:00:02 [#################]
100% |   8%
...
gcc-fortran-4.2.2-1-...   12.9M  926.2K/s 00:00:14
[#################----]  75% |  95%

and finished by
gcc-fortran-4.2.2-1-...   12.9M  926.2K/s 00:00:14
[#####################] 100% | 100%


P.S.: Take a look at this feature request:
http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8331 ;-)
(though it is not related to TotalDownload but it's about progress too)
