Hi RaeRae,
Hits is the number of times your file has shown up in some elses search results. Uploads shows the completed uploads / attempts. Unless your firewalled your files should be available for upload. Could be nobody has tried to get them.
To convert a file you will need a program to do it with. You could try this one here:
SUPER v2006 Build 19
Or try this site:
http://www.videohelp.com/. It has links to everything but looks a little intimidating.
Hope this helps
Edit: Oops got my threads mixed up

If you didn't see it, then never mind
