your post above on the vbseo side of things, i would like to extend on this.
there is a few things that need to be modified for better seo for downloadsII while using vbseo
1. edit downloads.php
2. edit a couple/few threads
3. vbseo re write rules.
Now over at vbseo there is a thread which i pointed out in my 2nd last post in this thread, that includes the vbseo re write rules. and includes details (not the best nor easiest) was at doing 1 and 2.
I am fairly sure you can modify downloadsII so it will still function the same way for normal users, but will also be albe to detect if vbseo is running, and use more vbseo friendly urls.
see this thread on how to modify hacks/mods to be better for vbseo, which is a huge benefit for many users.
