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 installed as you said but after installing i gave usergroup permissions and saved them but after saving i got another usergroup with same name and the options i edited in this havent saved
example: i edited for moderators and save them but after saving i got another usergroup named moderators in custom usergroups and the modifications havent saved in the orginall usergroup
Were you ever able to fix that?
I got the same issue. Everytime I set an option in a usergroup and save in duplicates. It does that only with this Mod.

Probably there's another mod interfering with DownloadsII. Which mods you installed are using a admin_usergroup_ hook location (look at the plugin manager)?
4. There's a copyright because it's our work and we do it for free. vBulletin itself also has a copyright and it's commercial software.
Why can't you remove it? Because DownloadsII is based on ecDownloads (its coder left vB.org and the mod contained security issues) and the ecDownloads license requires this. Because of this v6 will be a full recode.
So in other words, you can't pay for removal because it's not his copyright to make money off of. A not too uncommon occurrence here on vB.org.
This is why I say folks should make sure they understand everything about a situation before criticizing people over it. Not everything that can be done by other coders can be done by all coders.
Just wandering but how can I edit the template that displays the latest files? I have managed to edit the one for the most popular files by editing downloads_panel_bit. But how can I edit the one for the latest files. All I want to do is make the text smaller and maybe add a hyphen before the file name.
