Your URL is for the package description page, which lists the dependencies etc and then the architectures. As parallel is suitable for all architectures, you would click "All" and arrive at: https://packages.debian.org/de/sid/all/parallel/download which is the page with links for around the world. I downloaded: http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/parallel/parallel_20240222+ds-2_all.deb successfully from the top left link. You would presumably use the top right link for ftp.de.debian.org instead. Cheers, David.
