This seems to be the most popular mod with 3.8....so im sure many are using it that way.

I still dont understand why its so popular. Even if you do host those downloads...theres a million other sites doing it already.

Does it bring in massive hits to your sites or what ?

Torrents aren't illegal. Using torrents to copy and redistribute copyrighted material that isn't yours is illegal. Just like downloads.com is not illegal, as long as the content your providing for download is yours to redistribute, or already distributed under the GNU licence.

This isn't any different then an articles section. A million other sites already do articles, but likely your articles have something to do with your site topic. Likewise most peoples downloads have something to do with their site topic. I run a site that's predominately about the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG, so I have downloads of already freely distributed software related to playing the game online and managing deck lists, keeping track of official rulings, etc. In addition, if there's content I can't host on my server, I can make it available to my users as a link to the site where it can legally be downloaded.

It's not a matter of doing what others are already doing, it's making things your users are already interested in readily available.

so that only my downloads page title is displayed on top?

example:
vbulletin forum home title: Powered by vbulletin.com

downloads pages titles: Powered by vbulletin.com - downloads page title after

the way that i need: downloads page title only



can i remove a part of the code for the downloads page that would remove the vbulletin.com generic title from appearing on the downloads pages?

Edit the title tags in the DOWNLOADS template.
