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).
Changelog (version 5.1.2)
Jelle
Backported CSRF security fix from the vB 4 release
Added permission check for Update Counters
Fixed PHP warnings when running PHP 5.3
Removed the imagecreatefrombmp() function. It doesn't exist.

You can find all the changelogs of this and older versions here.
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.
Reupload (and overwrite) all the 5.0.6 files again to your forums FTP. You should have missed the /includes/class_download.php file which was updated to fix the 0 comments counter problem (after running the update counters).
I tested the fix and it should really work
one of my users is trying to upload a 80mb file.. the upload works but there is no trace of the file. Any ideas? Is there a limit of mb that can be uploaded?

Thanks
Are you SURE the upload worked? Normally, your web server won't permit that big of an upload unless you've modified the config files or .htaccess.

Like Jelle has said already, you need to create a file named .htaccess (note the period in front of the name). Put the following two lines into the file:
User are getting file not found errors on some downloads
Yes the downloads folder is 777 and all the files are 666. We installed VBSEO at around the time the downloads stopped working. Whould this have anything to do with some of the files not being found?
Sory for them bump. Does anyone have any idea why downloads is not now findiing files?
