Ok, so my question still stands, does this mean I will be eventually downloading the entire IPFS network onto my computer? What is the solution to that problem?

Currently no, you only download content you have requested, and you can remove any content you have not pinned to hold onto via a garbage collection command. When bitswap is more mature you may get more content on your system, but that will probably be configurable.
