Thank You for the quick answer! Usually all I do is using pacman, I never used the mirrorlist to get a package ...
Just search your package at https://archlinux.org/packages/ and click "Download from mirror"
Thank You, I've never noticed that link - sometimes it's worth to just look in unexpected places :) Kind regards, Peter

However, this and your general idea are not great advice and will put your system in an unsupported state. Meaning, what you want to do is equivalent to a partial upgrade (like pacman -Sy & pacman -S something) and if you have issues later, Arch Linux support options will probably just refuse to help you. Hence, why it's called an unsupported state.
If the package doesn't need any dependencies from -testing it should be everything back to a supported state once the package moves out of testing.
