Pkgcache is NULL for db 'core' [Solved]

Question

hello
erm.. well i updated pacman to 3.4 not too long ago ..and ran a Syu recently..
and it gave me an error "error invoking external downloader"
right..so i entered this line on the pacman.conf
XferCommand = /usr/bin/axel -a %u &o -o
and have also tried curl
XferCommand = /usr/bin/curl -C - %u > %o
Realised that the core repo db wasnt being downloaded at all..instead of downloading the $repo.db.tar.gz , it was trying todownload $repo.db
"Initializing download: http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/arch … 64/core.db "
does anyone have any idea why ?
kinda lost here
i have
Architecture = x86_64
and have tried other repos  with the same result ..pacman still downloads the db instead of db.tar.gz
Edit: i had tried pacman-git after pacman 3.3 before moving to pacman 3.4
