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.
How come every time i upload a file it says The upload failed! Upload error. and the file is only 4mb
After placing the .htaccess, or also without the .htaccess?
Probably it's the php.ini upload limit setting. You can change this yourself when you have server access (SSH), but when you are on a shared host you need to ask this to your hosting company (and probably they won't change it, which is normal because of server loads).

Yeah i didnt use the .htaccess
It was the php.ini it was set for only 2mb file upload....i changed it to 4 and it worked!
You can disable the rating feature using the user group permissions, but that's not removing the old ratings. It's only removing the rating form for new ratings. You can truncate the dl_votes table and reset the total vote score using phpMyAdmin, but then you still see the "No votes" message, so you still need to edit your templates. But editing them to remove it isn't that difficult, it's just one piece of code to remove in the downloads_file template (and don't forget the user group permission also)
Just in case anyone else does this, I changed the templates a while back -- there were 4 to edit to completely remove all rating/grade references:
downloads_cat
downloads_file
downloads_my
downloads_my_bit
One thing I noticed after modifying these templates is that the Admin CP always has a warning that these custom templates are out of date, saying that the default versions of them were updated in DownloadsII 5.04, but that I've last modified them in Downloads II 3.6.5.
