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.

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've you want to PM me your site URL along with an admin username and password, I'll check it out. I can't figure out any way that our code would have some magic switch at 15. What is the size of the file you are trying to upload?
It is with downloading.
But I think I traced the problem.
I want to set the max MB's for Unregistered users.
And I think that in that case you are counting all Unregistered users to calculate the downloaded size.
Though I know that also has it's not completely reliable, that brings me to another request, what also would (partially) solve this problem:
I'd like to log the IP address if the user is unregistered. Also good to know if a user registers afterward and starts kicking trouble over downloads (like we had last weekend).
And yes, I am aware that some users do have random IP numbers everytime they log on they simply will be lucky. But for most users with DSL lines it will work, and for calculating the downloaded size it will help also, by not giving the "you have exceeded your download limit" message.
Would it be possible to do a few mods to this hack please, Such as:
Intergrate with vBux; Say pay 10 points to download and recieve 5 points for uploading?
In the postbit and profile where you have put the count for the downloads and uploads, could these be links to a list of the files that have been downloaded or uploaded.
I don't think I'll do it based on categories. Some sites have a lot of files but few categories so that wouldn't really help. I'm thinking of a more random system, something like sub-folders numbered 1 - 10 with each of them having a sub-folder numbered 1-10. The admin could configure how many sub-folders are created.
I also thought about using userid but since so many sites have a small number of people uploading, that would work well. Also considered basing it off the month and day but ... again ... if someone does a mass upload to get started, that wouldn't work well.
So far, random distribution into a series of numbered sub-folders seems the best way to go.
I'd like to log the IP address if the user is unregistered. Also good to know if a user registers afterward and starts kicking trouble over downloads (like we had last weekend).
Actually, I already do log the IP address of users, both registered and unregistered. When the "delay time" check is conducted, the IP address is taken into consideration. I'll add that check to the max daily MB and max # of daily files check too in ver 5.0.4
