I agree that this does look pretty bad, but this is because we capture the guix command output to a log file so that we're able to include it in the installer dump if anything goes wrong. Guix detects it's not talking directly to a terminal and so doesn't try to use terminal specific escape codes to display the download progress. I don't know how we could improve on that front though, since in general capturing the guix command output helps with debugging issues. Best, -- Josselin Poiret
