See man pacman.conf, under the OPTIONS section:
ParallelDownloads
Specifies number of concurrent download streams. The value needs to be a positive
integer. If this config option is not set then only one download stream is used (i.e.
downloads happen sequentially).
The article linked above describes how to easily enable parallel downloading in Arch Linux. This is kinda cool; I'm trying it in one of my Arch installations. Not sure if it speeds things up or not, or if it's really helpful to me in any way. I think I like it anyway. Found an interesting discussion on the topic at the Arch forums: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=266854
The options I'm currently using in the /etc/pacman.conf file are summarized below:
[options]HoldPkg = pacman glibcArchitecture = auto# Misc optionsColorCheckSpaceVerbosePkgListsILoveCandyParallelDownloads = 5# By default, pacman accepts packages signed by keys that its local keyring# trusts (see pacman-key and its man page), as well as unsigned packages.SigLevel = Required DatabaseOptionalLocalFileSigLevel = Optional
