I'm trying to install arch for the first time, but I haven't been able to get past the verification stage. First I tried using the pgp signature but I was unable to import the key from the server (keyserver communications error: general error).
Then I tried using both the MD5 and SHA1 checksums but neither matched when I checked them at onlinemd5.com. I downloaded the .iso from the magnet link at this site:
https://www.archlinux.org/download/
That's also where I got the checksums. Any suggestions? Is the torrent file corrupt or are the checksums out of date?

So you have both the iso and the sig file? Post the output of
pacman-key -v archlinux-2015.09.01-dual.iso.sig
It should show:
% pacman-key -v archlinux-2015.09.01-dual.iso.sig
==> Checking archlinux-2015.09.01-dual.iso.sig ...
gpg: assuming signed data in 'archlinux-2015.09.01-dual.iso'
gpg: Signature made Tue 01 Sep 2015 01:51:25 PM EDT using RSA key ID 9741E8AC
gpg: Note: trustdb not writable
gpg: Good signature from "Pierre Schmitz <pierre@archlinux.de>" [full]
If it does not, delete the iso and redownload it, then try again.

I can't run pacman because I'm in Ubuntu. I don't currently have an arch installation, this is my first attempt at installing it. When I tried running that command it said "command not found."
I tried downloading the .iso from 2 different mirrors to see if I could get it to match that way. But neither of the files I downloaded matched the checksums.

I used the md5sum command in the terminal and the hash matched. Don't know why it doesn't match on onlinemd5.com but I'll trust the result I got from md5sum!
