I'd love to see something like this!
Here's what I'd like to see:
- Track downloads
- Rate & comment (using vBulletin member database)
- Allow meta data:
- Title
- Software author/company
- URL for software home
- Description
- Version number
- License (GPL, shareware, commercial, etc.)
- Allow linked files (URLs from other sites, rather than uploaded to your server, or files already stored on your server)
- User uploads (subject to review & approval)
- Permissions (by category, using vBulletin usergroups to manage)
- Can see category?
- Can download?
- Can upload?
- Can approve/edit uploaded files?
- Top downloads
- Top rated
- New downloads
- RSS feeds for all three lists (top/new downloads)
- Uses vBulletin phrases
- Uses vBulletin templates
Personally, I don't care about automatically adding files found in adirectory (which a number of download scripts do)... mainly because Ithink the meta data is important and you can't get most of thatautomatically.
And yes, I'd definitely be willing to pay for something like this.
