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.
That will copy the file to the downloads folder and it will be deleted if the entry is deleted.
That's what we call "lood om oud ijzer" because I still have to delete the file via FTP which I uploaded in the temporary folder. It's easyer to find there though... that's correct.

True, but once you do the mass import, you can delete all the files in the upload folder in one command then know that if for some reason the downloads entry is deleted the file in the downloads folder will be deleted too. Not a perfect solution but fairly painless.
How can I make files older than 60 days that have not been accessed delete themselves automatically?
First, you need to add a field to the dl_files table to track the last time a file was accessed. Then you need to write a vbcron file that checks that field and deletes files that meet your criteria. What you want isn't currently supported but it's a good idea.

I don't know what you have going on here. Looks like another mod is messing with Downloads. Downloads has no reference to rulehack. I'd contact who ever made that hack.
