D

• it's interweaved into normal build messages
• users don't really see the difference between "Downloading" (transfert started, may eventually fail with 404) and "Downloaded" (done successfully)
• repository id is not so visible in the middle of the message
• the download url has much info in it to see: base url, groupId as directory, artifactId, version, and filename

adding darker color to "hide" less important info will help output reading
