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.

Am use DownloadsII v1.5.1 for VB 3.8.6 patch level 1
Please help, all of a sudden my downloads start opening in a new window, instead of being saved as a file. And they come out like this "s2ma��SGm????VV6o}......"
I have not put any extensions under the settings to "open in window". I have also uploaded tons of files of the same format with no problem, until today, which is so strange cause I have not changed any settings! It still downloads fine with IE, but im getting this problem with firefox, and another fren with firefox has this problem too.
please please help. im still having this problem and i dunno whats wrong. it was totally fine a few days ago. im using vb 3.8
the downloads work fine in IE but not firefox
Reset firefox and add ons, the file name you are getting is a temporary filename as it attempts to open it live, the reset of the browser settings back to default should work fine
