Failure to download pending package updates in the background.
in /etc/pamac.conf
Download updates in background
DownloadUpdates
seems to be enabled. This used to download the updates right after checking for available updates (I have check set for 1 hour intervals). It no longer doing the downloads until pamac is opened and an update is requested. Things are working, but I have a slow internet connection and having to wait for all the updates to download seems like a big step backwards. Has anybody else noticed this change in the last few months? cheers

already set ... This doesnt seem related as its just badly formatted xml in the description of 1 of the packages available from community.
