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

Fixed PHP warnings when running PHP 5.3

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.
I just upgraded , and uninstalled the old xml and installed the new xml , now I dont have any of my downloads or Cats showing and I have lost all my user permissions, what can I do to fix this ? thanks.
I think you will need to set it all over again. you should have overighten the old xml
I can't seem to figure out how to move a file to a different category once it's been uploaded...
Am I just blind or something? Does this not exist?
Just edit the file and change the category in the category dropdown menu.

For upgrading you need to use the overwrite function from the product system, as stated in the instructions. Uninstalling removes everything.
If you've got a database backup, you can restore the original dl_ tables.

I am just wondering % wise how close is it to being finished?
Version 6 will be for vB 3.7 only indeed (no vB 3.5/3.6 support). But ... 10% of all the time for 90% of the work and 90% of all the time for 10% of the work. Finishing it is needing more time than I imagined.
I'm using the latest DownloadII Version and all seems to work fine.
But if I would upload am File that has an Filesize of 6,8Mb I got this error "The upload failed! Upload error."
By smaller Filez there seems no problem and works fine.
I have read a lot of posts here, but can't find an answer for my Problem

Maybe you read the wrong posts, because it's definately talked about a lot, but no problem.
Fair chance is that your host has the the maximum size of uploads to 2mb which is standard in php.
You can add a line to your .htaccess file or when this does not work, ask your hosting provider to set the php maximum upload size to a higher amount.
I know that it was just released today, but I was curious if anyone knew of complications between DownloadsII and vb RC4? I was getting ready to upgrade my forums, but thought twice once I saw there were a ton of template edits.
