In order to use vbbux for my downloads, I've been forced to have the download button link to a post with an attachment rather than the file. The post's attachment is the file since vbplaza has the feature to charge vbbux for attachments. I have the forums the threads are in hidden so you can only get to them by going through the Downloads. I had all downloads cost different amounts based on file size and other criteria like type and popularity, but vbplaza only allowed setting a default cost, so I had to make database edits for the vbbux cost of each attachment individually.
But this all had to be done manually. It was such a pain and a roundabout way of doing it. I have just disabled new uploads until this integration hopefully with version 6.
