What do these options do & when/why do you need it?

Reset bans: reset's the torrent engine's banning of other peers. If peers send you garbage/are labeled crappy by utorrent, it 'bans' them -- meaning that it won't dl anymore from that peer. This resets that list.

Clear peer list: not 100% sure, but assume that this means that it clears the active list of peers in utorrent's array of peers for that torrent, and then dl's new ones from the tracker/dht. This is probably for wierd situations where you have stagnant peers on your torrent.

Add peer: haven't seen this option, but again, I assume that it allows you to manually add a peer to your torrent (one that the tracker/dht hasn't let you know about already).

Might want to read a BT FAQ to get aquainted with all the terminology:

kool bananas! i'm actually pretty familiar with the terms etc, just not sure about those particular functions in μtorrent. If those terms are what u said they are, then u have answered my questions very well thx! btw, the Add Peers... option is found when u right click on any peers in your peer list.
