Just as an update, I had managed to download a few files overnight, but when I tried downloading the rest I found the same problem persisting - my account showing me as currently downloading my max of 15 though I wasn't actually downloading anything. As @pupkinvasya suggested earlier I clicked on the download/upload counter and took a look at what the site said I was currently leeching and found they were all old torrents I'd chosen to partially download. Some of them were a year old, so I guess this clog has been building for awhile. Going into my client and deleting those torrents appears to have done the trick. Just wanted to bring this post up to speed in case others with the same problem come looking for answers later.
