I'm evaluating DownloadsII but may want to check out LDM as well. Can both mods be installed to the same vBulletin forum or does this present a problem? Also, I am hosted on an IIS server. Does this present any problems? Are there any security settings I'd need to have to change for directories?

As I said, I'm presently trying DownloadsII. Can't get it working and am waiting for a reply by the author so thought I'd give LDM a try in the mean time. One area of concern I have with LDM is that I have to change the permissions on the downloads directory making it writeable and executable (chmod 777). Can't do this via FTP on an IIS server so I'm having to ask my host to do it for me. But one poster in the DownloadsII thread remarked that this looked like a huge security hole. I don't know enough about web server security to have an opinion on that. What are your thoughts? Does LDM have a similar requirement?

Thanks!
