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
Added permission check for Update Counters
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.
Is there anyway to customise the error message. An example of this instance would be prompting the user to wait in between download before downloading again. I would like to add a message like they could surf the site while waiting for the time to expire.

That's the ecdownloads_download_too_quickly phrase in the Error Messages phrase type category. You can change it in the AdminCP (Languages & Phrases).
Hello, when I use GARS too, i cant upload anything as admin. DownloadsII reported me every time i have to fill out the red marked things, but i had all fill out and nothing is red marked.
When I turned off GARS then is all right.

Please help !!!
This is already reported in this thread. There's also a topic about it on the vB Geek forums. The problem was introduced with the newest GARS release.
But I don't have a GARS license, so I can't bugfix it. And Morgan from GARS says she isn't familiar with DownloadsII
Like I already said: if someone is willing to give me temporally access to his vB AdminCP and FTP, I will try to sort it out. You can always contact me using pm.
Under the navigation (Նավարկում) part. The link is only visible for people in a usergroup with the "Can edit all files" and "Can manage moderation queue" permissions.
