Current version of pacman allows you to enable parallel downloads, but it's disabled by default. This is signified by a line in the config file that says:
#ParallelDownloads = 5
So my question is, could archdi has an option in the config page to enable this (uncomment the line)? Yeah, this does introduce the problem of having 5 (6 if you also count the also newly added total progress bar), and a slight delay on some of the downloads, but it significantly sped up download times, and you could just as easily change the number in the line to set the number of downloads.
Also, if you want to remove that progress bar, just uncomment #NoProgressBar.
