Hi
Sometimes i interrupt an installation of some package and i get a error when i try to continue the download( some about "database lock"), so i remove this file and when i try to download again, all progress is gone!. so how continue the download when the database is locked?=

You can download the packages first and install them later:

[karol@black ~]$ pacman -Sup --print-format %l

Not sure if the servers allow continuing download but you can try.

Are you using any external downloader?

is the same thing, the solution should be find the package almost downloaded and continue with some command like wget -c and next use pacman to install,

The internal downloader already does this.

You can use wget as the command in pacman.conf too
