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.
Since I have upgraded to version 5.0.8 from a version a few versions back, the upload function is broken.
I do fill Filename, Description, Category and then browse to the file on my harddisk.
But after upload it returns that the fields marked in red should be filled.
But not one field is marked.
You can find the solution in the first post

i would still very much like to know how the import files destination change from /forum/downloads/ to differnet directory. the thing is i have a second hard disk on the same server but unfortunately its on a different directory
Maidos, can't you read or don't you believe what I tell you? It is NOT yet supported in this version, you can only store files in directory's of your documentroot.
Asking the same question over and over again, does not change the way things work.
So either symlink from your document root to that directory on the 2nd hd which I already offered you as possible solution, or wait until the new version is out.
Hi, I am going to host large file and allow users to download them. Does this mod allow me to limit a user 1 download at a time? Or is there a way to do that?

Sorry, but you are not the coder of this mods so i cant really expect an answer from you :/ i do appreciate your help. But i want to find out if theres possible solution beside urs from the coders end. Since your solution is not the best because adding the files manually on download front page will enable a potentional hotlink. So your solution is out of question. Yes im aware that theres no feature like that which is why im asking how this can be done if the coder could help me
