The four broken links reported today were not broken at all
Over the past couple of months, it has been reporting broken links that, once checked are not broken at all. Why is this?

I have just installed this plugin and and have been going through the reported broken links, I have to say I am puzzled as most of them are internal links linking to another post within the blog and / ot images that seem to be perfectly fine - whats to do?

There are many, many things that can cause false positives. They range from simple server configuration errors to sites deliberately blocking all automated requests. Without further information, it's impossible to say what exactly went wrong in your case.
What status message(s) does the plugin show for those links? Do all of the links point to the same site, or different sites? Do the links have anything else in common (e.g. all are images, or they redirect to a different page when clicked, etc)? If you click the status message to view additional link details, what does it say in the "Log" section?
