How do I update the mirrors when the mirrorlist is down?

https://archlinux.org/mirrorlist/ seems to be down, how do I update my mirrors? I normally use ghostmirror, but I can use whatever as long as I can get update my system.

Re: How do I update the mirrors when the mirrorlist is down?

why do you want to update your mirrorlist?
usually at setup reflector runs getting you a good list - or use one of the multicast ones
otherwise the idea of a list is to fallback to tge next entry if one kurror doesn't respond any longer

Re: How do I update the mirrors when the mirrorlist is down?

Because the mirrors I'm using are not up to date, I have automated ghostmirror too.

I saw today that the latest nvidia drivers are not available through the mirrors I'm using:

pacman -Ss nvidia-open
extra/nvidia-open 580.119.02-2
    NVIDIA open kernel modules
extra/nvidia-open-dkms 580.119.02-1 [installed]
    NVIDIA open kernel modules - module sources
extra/nvidia-open-lts 1:580.119.02-3
    NVIDIA open kernel modules
