Can't refresh my mirror list after garuda update

Hello everyone, I’m new to the linux world and, in this moment, I have some problems with the update of my mirror list. After a system update done 2 days ago I experienced some issue in the installation of packages using terminal, for example with:

sudo pacman -U https://aur.archlinux.org/ltspice.git

it give me this error:

error: Unable to download package 'alpmtmp.o2g8hH' from aur.archlinux.org : The requested URL returned error: 404

Before the system update I had the same error and the solutions was selecting more countries in the Reflector-simple list. The problem is that after the update, also if I select other countries besides mine and reflector correctly creates the mirrorlist in /etc/pacman.d , the list in Reflector-simple doesn’t update, only my coutry is selected.
I tried to return at an old system version with a Snapshot but the problem is still here, even after updating the system again.
I tried with a manual insertion of Servers in the mirrorlist file but the error doesn’t go away.
Here is my garuda-inxi:

Sorry if I got something wrong in the topic and thank you for your help!

Hi there, welcome to the forum.
That’s an AUR package, so it should be built, as opposed to Arch packages, which are binaries to be installed.
Try

paru ltspice

Exit the PKGBUILD preview with button q and confirm installation.
Careful, I see that package is flagged as out of date.
But it could work.
Mirrors are not affected by AUR packages.
For Arch packages, check how to use pacman, e.g. here
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman

Thanks, I didn’t know that, thanks also for the welcome and the fast reply. I want to know more of linux and I’m loving this distro, so sorry if this questions are a little stupids.
Instead for the mirror list in Reflector-simple that doesn’t change, is this a problem?

Keep your system updated with

garuda-update

From terminal.
This tool takes care of a lot of things, including updating the Arch mirrors automatically according to certain criteria with rate-mirrors.
