But editing them to remove it isn't that difficult, it's just one piece of code to remove in the downloads_file template (and don't forget the user group permission also)

Just in case anyone else does this, I changed the templates a while back -- there were 4 to edit to completely remove all rating/grade references:

• downloads_cat
• downloads_file
• downloads_my
• downloads_my_bit

One thing I noticed after modifying these templates is that the Admin CP always has a warning that these custom templates are out of date, saying that the default versions of them were updated in DownloadsII 5.04, but that I've last modified them in Downloads II 3.6.5.
