@RS_Jelle:
The problem I have do not occur with all the old moved files. I just discovered that a file which gives a corruption notice when downloaded with IE6, does NOT give any problems when downloading with Firefox Portable.
So maybe the problem is lying in Internet Explorer 6 or one of the latest updates from windowsupdate for IE6.
Do you know of any incompatibility problems with IE6 and or linux/apache/php server settings needed for this to work well?

Ok, that's more clear :)

For the italic download amounts (most popular files), you need to edit the downloads_panel bit template and remove $value from it (then run the Update Counters feature to empty the cache of the left box stats).

Also edit downloads_file for the file page and remove
for the amount of downloads.

For the amount of downloads on the category view, you need to do three template edits:

1. Edit the downloads_cat template and remove
   
   HTML Code:

   ---

   <option value="downloads.php?do=cat&amp;id={$cleancatid}&amp;sort=downloads">{$vbphrase['ecdownloads_total_downloads']}</option>

   ---

   This removes the amount of downloads sorting method.
2. Edit the downloads_cat_files template and remove
   
   HTML Code:

   ---

   <td class="thead" width="10%" align="center"><a href="./downloads.php?do=cat&amp;id={$cleancatid}&amp;sort=downloads" rel="nofollow">{$vbphrase['ecdownloads_downloads']}</a></td>

   ---

3. Edit the downloads_cat_filebit template and remove
   
   HTML Code:

   ---

   <td class="$bgclass" valign="top" align="center" height="40"><span class="smallfont">{$file['downloads']}</span></td>

   ---

You need to do three template edits for the my files page (if users can upload files, otherwise you are the only one who can see stats there):

1. Edit the downloads_my template and remove
   
   HTML Code:

   ---

   <td class="thead" width="17%">{$vbphrase['ecdownloads_downloads']}</td>

   ---

2. Edit the downloads_my_bit template and remove
   
   HTML Code:

   ---

   <td class="$bgclass">{$file['downloads']}</td>

   ---

What do you mean with "how many data is used"? The file size, or the bandwidth counter?
For the last one, you need to edit downloads.php and remove
This will remove the navigation link to the stats page.

That would require some PHP surgery. It would need to detect the fact that a linked file contains your site url and then it would need to use the cloaked method.

Easier is to add a .htaccess file to block hotlinking. You can find a hotlink protection .htaccess generator here. Set the extensions of the big files your admins are uploading as the "Files To Protect" and upload the .htaccess to your alternative downloads folder.

There's only a JavaScript deletion prompt on the file pages (for the file itself, comments and images). The Manage Files page hasn't got the prompt, so files will be deleted immediately if you are using that way.

Note that you need JavaScript enabled in your browser, but I don't think that's the problem :)

If it doesn't work on the file page, can you pm me a test account (with file deletion rights for DownloadsII), so I can check it out?

Can you pm me a test account for your site?

If you are doing your Windows Update correctly, you would normally get the newer Internet Explorer 7 (on Windows XP).

the hot link protection doesnt work when ppl use download manager...what i mean is the url location wiill be revealed

so the only option is what you say php surgery so please help me :(

is it possible to have rss feed on the downloads because its not possible with the rss feature installed on the forum already

Is it possible for the images to be resized before they are uploaded to the file's thread?

@RSJelle: You forgot my question. Seems now more users with IE6 having problems downloading or better said that downloads work but will be downloaded incomplete c.q. with errors.

i also get reported errors like black tiger

this is a noob question but how can i go about doing: Change the permissions on the directory called 'downloads' making it writeable and executable (chmod 777)

as well as: Create directories in the 'Categories' menu under the 'Downloads' in your admincp

everything else is working fine. thanks

Thanks for this, because we want to distribute movies but each of them usually has over 2 links (2 parts to join) so we are waiting for your next version.

I was wondering where I go in Downloads II so I can edit how large of a file people can upload...

Because for some odd reason.. I'm unable to upload .wmv or .avi.. and i've edited it for these file extentions.. but it just loads for a long time and then it makes the page reload after its done and gives me blank boxes as if i never typed anything to be uploaded...

actually.. is there a way i can edit it so.. files that are large can be uploaded? i think that's the problem

Can I get some help there? ^^;
