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.
But on future request can you make the download search bar on the same position as vb default search bar. So when user open the collaps bar from advanced search they can be able to search on downloads.php?
I have Question: Why cann't rearrange the section order?
for example, when I added section "c" first then I added section "A" and "B" I try to rearrange the order of section veiw to be appear the section as "A" then "B" then "C" but I cann't do that!

regards,
You can change the weight of each category to allow what you are asking, if you don't do the weights, it sorts by alphabetical.
If i disable a category for certain usergroups, that usergroups still can find files with a search and download them. Same thing with the most downloaded files or the direct URL.
Is there a way to avoid this behavior? If not i would request that as a feature.
The database home is showing I have no files uploaded. But in the recent and most popular panels on the left side it shows the files and lets users download them. You can not browse my categories because it says they are empty? I am completely lost, this has worked for me for the past 5 or 6 months or so and a user just brought it to my attention. Any ideas?
