If a download is, for whatever reason, interrupted, Pacman will try to resume the download using HTTP range requests. Because Vieter doesn't support this, Pacman will throw an error like this:

error: failed retrieving file 'waterfox-g4-bin-1.2.1-0-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst' from mzte.de : HTTP server doesn't seem to support byte ranges. Cannot resume.

The fix for this would be to implement these HTTP range requests for the repository endpoints.

As a workaround, you can remove waterfox-g4-bin-1.2.1-0-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst & its corresponding .part file from the Pacman cache dir (/var/cache/pacman/pkg).
