I have just installed Transmission and downloaded several items. The archlinuxarm that I downloaded shows "786kB corrupted". Does that mean that the download is duff ? Or is the download ok and I have downloaded 786kB of duff excess files ?

I think this means that when the file was hashed (checked), part of the torrent was corrupted. This would of been caused by one of the seeders and was nothing done on you part.
I am pretty sure if you ran:
You would not get the correct value:
http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads
I would suggest either downloading again via torrent or just download the file normally. The file is only 199.82mb so it wont take long either way.

"Do you begin to see, then, what kind of world we are creating? It is the exact opposite of the stupid hedonistic Utopias that the old reformers imagined. A world of fear and treachery and torment, a world of trampling and being trampled upon, a world which will grow not less but more merciless as it refines itself. Progress in our world will be progress toward more pain." -George Orwell, 1984

Well me download matches the sha1. I think it is chunks that have not passed the integrity test and they are counted as waste and the chunks have been downloaded again. If memory serves me well in another agent I used ages ago they did the same and you could track if a particular seeder was at fault and block them.
Here in good old blighty if you are out in the sticks a 198.82 mb download is some lengthy task let me tell you.
