You are already using a range, %
, which is short hand for 1,$
meaning the entire file. To go from the current line to the end you use .,$
. The period means current line and $
means the last line. So the command would be:
:.,$s/\vBEFORE/AFTER/gc
But the .
or current line can be assumed therefore can be removed:
:,$s/\vBEFORE/AFTER/gc
For more help see
:h range
