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)

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.
on the download page it says "add" do you know where i can remove that name and change it "Upload files here"
DownloadsII is fully phrased at the frontend, so just go to Languages & Phrases in your AdminCP, find the phrase and change it. It's inside the Downloads phrase type category and has got the dl2_add varname.

This version also works with vBulletin 3.7 (except for the optional profile template changes)
Is there any way to make this system use FTP instead of PHP for uploads? I people uploading game modifications and trailers, that have files over 100 MB, and php isn't really a great option for that (timeouts, memory limit issues etc)

That's not easily possible at this moment. The only other solution is the import feature in the AdminCP.
You have a download image instead of download text. how would I do this?
It's there by default: /images/buttons/download.gif, but you need to upload it also to the buttons folders of your other styles if you aren't using the default images folder.
