Torrenting from another computer with the same account

You can use as many computers as you want. I've gone through 3 different IPs and computers so far while I've been on this site.

You can have different PCs on your account transferring/seeding files from different IPs as much as you like, AS LONG AS none of them duplicate a given torrent.  I use both a desktop and laptop, and often end up seeding at various venues, such as Starbucks, when on the road, while my desktop PC (which is always on) happily churns away.

This may not hold with some ridiculous number of IPs, but 2 or 3 is not even on the radar; my scenario is quite common among the userbase.

What about DLing? I've accidentally DLed a few torrents with my new PC and haven't gone through the trouble of copying the 'torrent key' or whatever needs to be done. So far I haven't been warned but have avoided DLing anything else before figuring out the proper 'protocol'.

Who mentioned anything about a torrent key...?
As Bozobub said, as long as you don't seed the same torrents at both computers (and don't login at a friend's computer, who also has an account) you should be fine :)

If you don't seed the torrent you downloaded at a different computer, you can safely download it again.

Freedom Kira:
Leeching from two different computers at the same time is also bad. Not that it's a good idea in the first place to double your ratio hit, of course.

Just don't run the same torrent at two different computers at the same time, seeding or leeching.
