man pacman-mirrors

  1. The one-off method is to use the –api --url arguments. When the pamac-mirrorlist.timer triggers - the mirrorlist is reset.

  2. You can create a custom mirrorpool with only one mirror using the -i/–interactive argument, then select the desired mirror. The choice will never change - unless you reset the custom mirrorpool.

  3. Finally you can become your own mirror provider by setting a static mirror in pacman-mirrors.conf.

Each method has pro’s and con’s - you will have to weigh the options an decide what serves your system best.
