Hi Guix,

when installing a few packages we see output like this:

While I’m sure many of us have gotten used to this I think we don’t need
to show quite as much information.  My proposal is to hide the
“downloading from <really long URL>” by default, because the URLs don’t
really matter to users.  We can unhide that bit of info when slightly
higher verbosity is requested.

What do you think?
