Had the same problem, plus after all the downloads had dropped to zero my internet connection was still busy, and my hard drive was going nuts.
After a few program restarts & a reboot or two I let it run to see what would happen (after I made sure my spyware/antivirus was up to date). After about 3-5 min everything went back to normal. I've done a spyware & virus scan, with nothing found.
I also went through the options and turned off the ultrapeer stuff, cancelled all current downloads, cleaned out the "incomplete" folder, then tried some new searches and downloads.
Not sure which one did the trick, but after all of that it seems to be normal again. I'm keeping a close eye on it and watching for any suspicios stuff on the computer.
hope it helps,
