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.
I'm having problems with uploading more than 6 files. When I try to add the seventh, it simply doesn't submit and refreshes the page as if you'd just selected 'Add'.
If I get another user to try, they can add - no problems, but then they have less than 6. There are no restrictions on the uploads in either time or size allowed in a day.
Any ideas?
Update
Fixed: This was due to the PHP max post and max upload limit in the php.ini file. I was attempting to upload a file over 9MB and the max for both of those values were set to 8MB. Now working fine.
Forgive the stupid question here, but I'm having problems using the import function (or just don't know how to do it correctly).
I have a number of files in a domain.org/download directory that I was using for downloads. I'd like to find a way to import all of those files into the ecDL system without having to manually enter them all.
I went to the import function and entered in the path
/full/path/here/to/www/html/download/
The import file list came up blank. When i clicked import, i got:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /admincp/downloadadmin.php on line 331
I also tried dropping a couple of files into the forums/downloads dir as well, but still no luck.
OK, I know this is probably SO simple and stupid, but thanks for the help!
is there a way to change the collapse_tcat_collapsed.gif for another image??
AdminCP -> Languages & Phrases
It's in a phrase, just search for it and you will find the phrase.

Just find $dl->downloadsmessage in the downloads_wrapper_side template and put it in a table or move it to another place (and/or another DownloadsII template).
@lmongello: There's a bug in the import system, it will be fixed in the next release.
