I followed the steps from the installation instructions (those that I could - read on) and have no Downloads menu item in my forum. Is there something I have to do to create that menu item?

Note: I'm on an IIS server. I could not perform a chmod 777 on my downloads folder as that is only available to *nix users. I'm working with my web host to set the permissions on that folder. Could this be the reason I have no Downloads menu on my main forum page?

Second Note: I'm not exactly sure I understand what "Create directories in the 'Categories' menu under the 'Downloads' in your admincp" means. I created a category by selecting the Categories menu under Downloads but I don't see any way to create a directory from there...

Thanks for any help you can offer. I tried searching the thread for solutions but came up empty.

(edit)
When I enter the URL to my downloads directory I get an empty white page.

UPDATE:
OK, I'm feeling real foolish. It seems that I uploaded everything BUT the downloads.php script. I've uplodoaded it and now there downloads page displays properly. I still don't have a link on my navbar for the downloads area so I assume I need to add that manually (no problem, I can do that). Larger uploads seem to time out. I seem to recall reading a fix for that in the thread somewhere. I'll go looking for it. Definitely need a progress bar for uploading. Is there an add-on for this?

My web host changed the permissions on the folder for me so I should be all set.
