Have you enabled the alarms for finished downloads in the server settings as 
well?

You should see the notifications popping up, although of course things are not 
instant: you can set the frequency in which to check but even then sometimes 
Android holds off on checking depending on the state of your phone.

I'd forgotten about those settings :-)

I have "Download alarm" ticked and "new torrent alarm" UNticked and now that I 
think of it, I unticked the new torrent alarm as it was going off all the time 
rather that when a torrent was added (or at least what the app means by added 
is unclear), it seemed to do it quite often, perhaps after network loss, forget 
exact details, but point is I did get notified for those.

The background service maintains a list of what it saw last time it was run. 
Anything it didn't know about last time is notified as new and everything that 
wasn't finished last time but is now is notified as finished.

Note that this is done per server config so if you have - for example - a local 
ip and remote ip config for what in principle is the same server - something 
that is very common - you get notifications twice for the same event (at the 
moment that the server is reachable again). You may want to disable 
notifications on the local ip config because of that.

Whay is the status of this item "Invalid"?

Anyway I didn't undersand the bit about 2 notifications, I do have two servers 
one for WIFI and one for 3G but surely only one of these is active at a time.  
I don't really care about new anyway so happy to leave off but would like 
completed torrent alarms to work.

Sorry I thought it worked for you now. 

The background service checks all your server configurations that have 
notifications enabled (for new or finished torrents). So when you have a 
torrent that finishes on your home server you should get notified (after some 
time) on either your local (when you happen to be connected to your local 
network) or remote configuration (when not connected to your home wifi). If you 
now go out or in your local network you might get the notification again (with 
some time margin). This is because they are treated as two different servers. 
Hope that's more clear. 

To see if the background service runs at all, you may do the following:
- Make sure you have the free Log Collector app installed from the Android 
Market 
- Kill Transdroid altogether from Android's applications menu. 
- Start Transdroid and wait some seconds 
- Send an error report to me using the menu option in Transdroid 
That should send me the relevant bits of your device log and should show debug 
messages on what the service is doing.
