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.
