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.
I'm not sure why you are having trouble. The permissions are controlled by usergroup. Simply set the usergroup that has users with subscriptions how you want and guest and registered usergroup the other way.
thats the thing..under my usergroup..i see nothing for subscriptions.
Paid subscriptions aren't set in the usergroup portion of the admincp. You setup the subscriptions under the "Paid Subscription" section and the user is assigned to the appropriate usergroup when they subscribe. You may want to read vb's help more on paid subscriptions to understand all the capabilities.
Hi bro i am running this with vb 3.5.x
1. Some times it needs to delete files and add again so when that happens download counter comes with 0. So how can i edit that to the previous amount? Anyway to edit that?
2. I can't disable that download delay. I mean that 30secs between downloads.. like thing you can edit. I put the 0 there still it show like 140secs etc... How to fix and and completely disable that?
1. That's not possible, but you can use phpMyAdmin to change this pretty easily. Have a look at the dl_files table with it. Allowing users to change this would be some kind of cheating (they would add some hundreds of "downloads" to make their site look big), so I don't think it would be a good feature.
2. Are you really, really sure that the delay option is set to 0? I haven't heard of any other complaints since it was bugfixed in a previous release.
are any more features being added, or is the next version just being finished off with all features already implemented? because i'm hoping it is the second so we can get our hands on it sooner to test it ^^ any progress reports would be great. Thanks.

Hay thanks for your reply.
1. If i edit the number from Phpmyadmin then it will not cause any trouble?
I mean i saw this DownloadsII logs the user name and date which some has downloaded it.
So it should match the number in that table right? or if its different still not make any problems?
2. Yes its on 0, and it shows some (-) time like -46 like stuff
