How do you select when a new thread becomes an overview or a release? Can I use the forum admin and tell it to all threads created in X forum will be releases?

You specify that a thread will be a release by checking a box (similar to creating a poll). You cannot make all threads in one section a release.

People have poll sections / debate forums on their sites, but they dont force people to only post threads with polls... thats because you might want some instruction posts or announcement posts. The same is true of a download forum. You may have 99.99% releases, but even at VB there are posts with instructions in them at the top of the forum (though they run their system differently).

How does the downloads hack categorize downloads?

You create categories in the admincp.
