[SOLVED] Possible failure while installing a package

Question

I was installing KDE for my definite Arch install and the monitor turned off. Nothing new, but after about 10 minutes I pressed an arror key to turn it on and a package that was downloading got possibly stoped. It looked like this:
package-x.xx 14.06 MB [#############-----------] 71%
package-x.xx 24.12 MB [##################] 100%
I'm not sure why an arrow key would stop the download (if it actually did).
Could someone tell me if it actually is a problem?
Regards,
Amarildo.

Note that your output is clearly a fabrication.  It does not have the download data, and the units for megabytes are different.
Regardless, note that I've two lines with 'libmariadbclient-5'.  Lo and behold, it did continue.  Just like your fictitious 'package-x.xx'
