sortmirrors wiped out all my mirrors. Need some help

I may have done something wrong.

I had installed netselect prior, like it says to do, but when I ran sortmirrors it was unable to find the hosts as it went through the script and pretty much erased all the mirrors from the files contained in /etc/pacman.d (i.e. current, extra, and so on).  The files themselves are still there, but they now contain no urls (still has all the rest of the stuff like comments and headers etc.).  So I think it pretty much overwrote just urls with emptiness.  No big deal, but I'm having a bit of trouble tracking down a good list of mirrors to manually paste them back in.

I did some searching around hoping to find a big list of all the repos, but didn't have much luck.  Is there an up to date list of repos anywhere on Arch's site that I can use to repopulate my /etc/pacman.d/current, /etc/pacman.d/extra, and so on, manually?

If pacman is in your cache, you could just reinstall it - /etc/pacman.d/* would be reinstated.
