Steven,
torrent downloading is not like downloading with firefox. You may stop 
and restart the download anytime. You might switch off your machine and 
continue with your torrents later on, when you are online, once again.

As this apparently does not work with your setup, I would try the 
following, just for a short test:

Delete any torrents that do not work for you. If they do not work, you 
will not have any benefit from keeping them. ;-)

Open a very small torrent, eg. a linux boot cd, and set the download 
folder to your home directory. Then see what happens.
Also power down your machine while your torrent is running and restart 
again.

I would expect that this one will work out very smart for you. If this 
happens, we will imho have to have a close look at your directory 
permissions for the download locations that you usually use.
