sometimes it is annoying not to see the complete packagename:
(125/1047): openoffice.o 2% [==           ] n:n ETA

could it be possible
1; to display the  "sometimes-really-long-packagenames" in one line
or "packagename - arch - version" (for |grep and |sort) in one line ?
2; to add a statusline with all the "Total Infos" ?
