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

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.
Run this addon realy with 3.7.xx or not. Any ideea for me?
Yes. You have to run version 5.08 though. If you have problems, try to revert manual changes to templates you made for Downloads II.
None are needed with version 5.08.
all members exceed daily upload and and download does not go away after 1 day. the user permissions for the group are set to -1 one in which says no limit

I have put the .htaccess thingy already in the root and followed all other instructions i could find on the internet but without any succes. It also happens if you upload a certain amount of pictures as attachement.
