Edit /etc/pacman.conf and uncomment or add the following lines:

Color
ILoveCandy
VerbosePkgLists
ParallelDownloads = 5

• Color enables colored output.
• ILoveCandy is an Easter egg without functional impact.
• VerbosePkgLists makes the package list more detailed.
• ParallelDownloads allows pacman to download multiple packaged simultaneously and it makes it fly. Use it only if your connection doesn’t sucks.
