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

Try

Server = https://geo.mirror.pkgbuild.com/$repo/os/$arch

Downloads from it will be slow, but it's one of the first mirrors that gets new updates when they are published.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

A better recommendation would be the fastly mirror, it receives updates in the same interval and should be fast most around the world:

Server = https://fastly.mirror.pkgbuild.com/$repo/os/$arch

See this map for details on their points of presence: https://www.fastly.com/network-map
