Hi Guix,

when installing a few packages we see output like this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix install zile-on-guile vim-full
The following packages will be installed:
   zile-on-guile 2.4.14-0.fd09781
   vim-full      8.2.0411

9.4 MB will be downloaded:

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

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?
