Failed to connect to america.mirror.pkgbuild.com port 443

OK. I get this error when running
pacman -Syu (alias for pacman -Syu=up)
It fails 3 times to connect to america.mirror.pkgbuild.com, but continues with the update. Does it try to connect to another location? Why would it continue if the commend gets errors?

It’s a mirror that is not working. You can safely update as your mirror list has more than 1 mirror.
