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).

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.
i have a question - is it possible for me to give certain members the ability to upload in certain section and not others? i can set a restriction on the sections people can see but i want everyone to see all sections but only able to upload in one section.
It might be worth adding the following small features:
1. Comment reporting.
2. Comment links include rel="nofollow"
3. The choice of editor (full or quick reply) for comments.
4. There should be a 'Comment' button rather than an open Editor Box under a download item.
5. For quick moderation it would be nice for an administrator to be able to call up a list of all recent comments.
6. The ability to moderate comments.
Is there any CMPS (Vbadvanced) Modules for this product available yet? i need a module to show thet last few added files,and i like to show their pictures not the file URL and name,
I am running 3.7 and obviously the memberinfo is totally different now
I have tried placing $dmemberinfo and $dmemberfiles but nothing shows up at all now
