Hi, can someone please tell me what these three things tell me? Are they telling me how many people have taken the content from my PC or what?

I have included a screenshot and highlighted the bits I'd like explained (Uploads , Hits, Locations )

Thanks

All this stuff can be found in the user guide

Cheers, could you just clarify what uploads means? is that the number of times the files has been upoaded from mine to someone else's computer?

That's right
The number on the right is how many times an upload has been attempted. On the left is how many times an upload's been successful.

ahh right, cool. so will these stats reset everytime I shut down, or will they just stay like that?

They'll reset every time you shut down.

is there a way to stop them from reseting?

No there isn't. It's a privacy issue I think
