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'm having problems with downloads timing out... I uploaded a 35mb file to my site. but it times out. and says that the download is complete after only 17 mb?? any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have a small request... Can you make it so the uploader cannot rate his own files?
Great idea!

I'm not really sure. That's not so much a function of DownloadsII as of your web server. Are you sure that the uploaded file is really 35mb? Throwing a life line ... anyone else with ideas?
Yeah I'm sure its really 35 mb. thanks for trying anyway. I've narrowed it down to something withint vb, or my php.ini file. As i can download it through direct URL just not through my website. If that makes sense.
I have a very simple question. I cant seem to add any new categarys to the downloads after this has been installed. If i try to add a new download i need to select a category which isnt possible as none are defined. Can you explain how you set up the very first categaory? I am using vbulletin version 3.6.3
