DownloadsII is a download database that integrates into vBulletin. It allows you to upload files, add images to them, create categories, link to external files - and more. It is very flexible and has many options.
Because a lot of people keep on asking this: This mod works with any version of vBulletin 3.7.x and 3.8.x!
It's also coded 100% XHTML 1.0 Transitional valid, just like vBulletin itself.
Instructions & Support
You can find an installation manual in the zip package (Readme-Install.txt).
We try to answer most questions asked in this thread. Please don't send any pm's if we don't ask for them, as we said we try to give a high level of support in this thread. Don't forget to click the install link, so you will receive important update notifications.
Screenshots & Live demo
At the bottom of this post, you can find 6 screenshots of the front-end and back-end (AdminCP part) of the DownloadsII software. You can see the newest version in action at the Minatica.be Downloads (Dutch).
Changelog (version 5.1.2)

You can find all the changelogs of this and older versions here.
Help!!! I can't upload large files??
This is probably the second most asked question. Have a look at this post for the solution.
It doesn't work with GARS?!
If you also use the latest version of GARS, you will get the "Fields marked in RED must be filled in!" error when uploading a file. I provided a fix here on the GARS forums.
Addons
We are offering 3 addons for this mod at the moment (have a look at the bottom of this post for them). DownloadsII contains 5 hook locations for the vBulletin plugin systems, so you can add extra functionality without file edits.

Notes
ecDownloads Buddy is NOT compatible with this version. If you are using the Buddy, you should UNINSTALL it before installing DownloadsII ver 5.x.x. The Buddy's features are now integrated into DownloadsII.
DownloadsII is a direct derivative work from Ron1n's ecDownloads.
well, I see your angry smilie ... have you tried it on 3.6? I have my ver 5 test installed on rc2 and it works fine. But, I have only done limited testing. Have you tested it and found problems?
No I haven't tested it, I am waiting for you to say something about whether it will work and when. I guess I was hoping you would make a specific announcement or start a thread in in the 3.6 Mod forum.

I probably won't do that until 3.6 is the official supported version. In the meantime, I'll do my best to make sure these files work on both versions. For those sites that have 3.6 installed (even in a development environment), give it a try for me. I think everything works but the more eyes on it the better.

Wait no longer. I am 99.9% sure that it is fully compatible with 3.6 RC2

I have added it to the site and it works flawlessly from what I can tell.I have done every option, uploading, downloading, approve, unapproved, pin, etc.
I have tryed to cover all angles of this hack.I am about to add the ecdownloads buddy to make sure it works good as well.Everything seems to work perfect!! I'm running 3.6 RC2
I hope this helps all who want to go ahead and add it to your vB3.6
Thanks WP
I have added the ecdownloadsbuddy to 3.6 RC2 and it worked flawlessly from what I can tell. Again, I am 99.9% sure that ecII and the buddy add-on will work for you if your running 3.6 RC2
I don't have vBadvanced CMPS on my forum yet but I assume that the CMPS add-on will work as well since the other two worked.
After beta 1 of ecDownloadsII 5.0, there's now beta 2
There are no new features, only A LOT of bugfixes and cleanups. We are sure you will see that some small bugs you noticed in the past will be fixed. Translating ecDownloadsII will be easier, because almost all hardcoded text moved to phrases (except in the AdminCP).

100% XHTML 1.0 Transitional and CSS 2.1 W3C compliance
Removed borders of all images
Fixed wrong aligned text editor when adding a file with IE
Moved a lot of hardcoded text to phrases and fixed some missing phrases
Fixed two wrong phrases for navbits (Add & Edit file)

Fixed a bug with the category page: category images of sub categories weren't showing up ($dl->picwidth doesn't exist)

Cached an uncached template causing an extra query on the 'Assign New Uploader' page
Removed the unnecessary 'add_to_dlinks' hook location
Cleaned up a lot of code to the vBulletin coding standards
