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
Removed the imagecreatefrombmp() function. It doesn't exist.
Added permission check for rating submissions
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.
Hi, is it possible to create an extra text field for the upload name say like i got 3 chapters of manga and i'm only allow to upload one at a time and instead of writing the whole name in the name box "one_piece_01", I want to have 2 text fields for
Name: one_piece
Chapter: 01
it will combine those 2 text fields together (seperated by "_" or anything I want) to make it become "one_piece_01"
Also, I've tried the to put in my forums dir .htaccess with:
php_value upload_max_filesize 25M
php_value post_max_size 25M
but it doesn't work, it gave me the error "500" for the whole site, anywhere i go i got that error. If I delete it the problem is gone, any suggestion?
For the first thing, I don't think we are going to create such a feature as I think you would be on of the only persons using "chapters". We try to integrate the most requested features in the next version.
An error 500 message is a .htaccess error. I would suggest you contacting your host to ask them why it doesn't work. Maybe they've blocked it, but that's pretty strange for a normal host ...

This fixed the corruption of some zip files (also occuring only in IE), but my fear becomes true: it causes some new issues
Please try downloading with IE6 and IE7 (before you do the file edit). I would like to know which versions it affects etc (and try some different files: not only zip files for example).

All files are affected. Not only zip

There's also IE7, the newest version. It's an additional XP Windows Update and the default browser of Vista. Just do the file edit I gave to you in the above post and it will be fixed.
Can you pm me the url of your forum and a test account, so I can download files. I want to compare some things with other sites.

Nobody can downloads files from IE
