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.
pirat3, im not a coder but i would like to give u a help if i could check ur site, i moved the server aswell from sempron to harpertown, got the error file not found before but got it fixed
Hi, nice modification =] but i have this template question ?
If i don't like Download2 to take after my gradient_thead color template which is orange
but i want it to take after gradient_tcat color which is black for my default skin
how can i do that ?
Cause it seem Download2 take after gradient_thead colors of any skin
Okay, so I have a semi-request for the next release. Would it be possible (if not already) that when a file is "moderated" that the moderation staff and admins be sent notification of it? Many times on the site people have uploaded a file to update it, and someone else has tried to download it and it gives them an error. If I were emailed about a file change/upload, I could almost immediately take care of it.
If anyone wants to help me implement this, I'd be grateful.
If you don't see the image form like on the screenshot, check your DownloadsII settings and your usergroup permissions. They both have an option for controlling the images.

Just edit the downloads_xxx templates and change class="thead" everywhere to class="tcat"
AdminCP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Edit Templates -> Downloads (double click the template group to open it) -> downloads_xxx (double click a template to open it)
Still looking forward to new version The download mod is a necessary function which I must have!And the problem is that I dont want to roll back to vBB 3.6.10
