Short description of error
[Please fill out a short description of the error here]

When I download the blender doc file in epub format it download some megabyte and then failed. I have 10mbps connection and I never able to download the blender manual. So I requested that make manual download pause/resume-able.
Pls allow Accept-Ranges: bytes on response header of manual download.

We should be supporting range already (we don't actively prevent it). I can pause and resume the epub download in Chrome just fine here while throttling the download to 3G speeds, as well:

If I interrupt the download and cause a network error, I can resume it as well in chrome:

As a workaround, use wget -c "https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/2.92/blender_manual_epub.zip" if available on your OS.

@dmcgrath both Safari and Firefox on macOS fail to resume download from the stopping point.
Brave (chromium fork) however does resume.

Since we support Accept-Ranges, perhaps this should be closed?
Accept-Ranges.gif
Although I am curious as to why Firefox doesn't work, but Chrome and and wget do. I did find a post that might help.
I also noticed that pause/resume fails on Firefox:

If relevant: downloads that Safari can resume show foo MB of bar MB downloaded, but for the manual, it shows foo MB of ? downloaded.

Can you show the headers you received (F12?) for that URL so that I can compare to ours?

I am not really sure about it. But I think Transfer-Encoding might cause problem as Content-Length is omitted ( more info on here ).

Seems that we were zipping a zip file, which starts sending the content before knowing the size, thus was chunked.

I disabled gzip for .zip files which seems to work properly in Firefox now.

Thanks for the report!
