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

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.
I am running 3.7 and obviously the memberinfo is totally different now
I have tried placing $dmemberinfo and $dmemberfiles but nothing shows up at all now
Can anyone advise as to what i should try please?
i think there is a hack to make a extra tab on profile.
therte you could try to insert those code.
It might be worth adding the following small features:
1. Comment reporting.
2. Comment links include rel="nofollow"
3. The choice of editor (full or quick reply) for comments.
4. There should be a 'Comment' button rather than an open Editor Box under a download item.
5. For quick moderation it would be nice for an administrator to be able to call up a list of all recent comments.
6. The ability to moderate comments.
Thanks.

Another suggestion from me would be for users to have the ability to list all files similarly to chosing 'My Files' or browsing a category and sort them by Name, Date, Author, Downloads, Rating, Status and Comments...
Thank you very much, but it isn't works. Could you chek if it is OK? thank you very much.
The truncate commands should work, but together with the update query CyberRanger gave you. There's no more rating stuff than the dl_votes table and the rating field in the dl_files table.

Have a look at the addons listed in the first post. There's already a vBadvanced CMPS module (without images).

All security tokens should be in place, also the one for uploading images. Make sure you reverted all downloads templates after the upgrade. The downloads_file is containing the one for the image upload.
This hack has been working excellent for me for some time now.
Recently, I deleted 2 categories and all files within them from the AdminCP. Now, the Downloads stats are blank, i.e. Latest Files, Most Popular Files, Top Contributors.
I can't understand why it would do this. Is there a query I can run to get these stats back?

That has nothing to do with DownloadsII. It's just the default layout of the vB editor, which you can change in the editor_toolbar_on template ($smiliebox). This will change the editor layout everywhere (when adding posts to the forum, adding announcements, ...).
DownloadsII v6 will use the vB quick editor for adding comments.
