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 agree with ratio option also adding option based on (vBExperience) points will be great so user cant download file if his vBExperience points not meet the minimum points required by download category.
If I'm not wrong, Phalynx is already working on it, but on a xfile base, the users would be able to pay with VBEXP point the download of each single file..
On the other hand, the 1:1 file ratio has to be done in the DownloadsII core.. or am I wrong?
the fix was for users getting the token security message with image uploads, not file uploads.
if you're having problems with the file uploads, find this line
Please,I need help.
Just installed DownloadsII,But each time i click download i get 404 error.
It may be a problem with your forum path or a simple slip up of where you uploaded certain files, a link to your site might help me see if that is the case
DownloadsII 5.1.1 is a very minor release which contains only one bugfix. It fixes the automatic pruning of the download log (if enabled). This wasn't working any more because the name of the plugin changed in a more recent version of vBulletin.
