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.
You never answered when I asked if you have access to SSH in. Do you? If you do not, you will need to talk with your server admin.
********
I run a game website, and we have guys who like to make small mods to make the games more interesting. Naturally, keeping up with these mod files is a big job. I love Downloads II, it will really make my life easier and my users are really getting into stocking the file bank.
Now, another question: I searched this thread but the key word is edit, so that didn't do much for my search. When I go to edit a file, I click the Edit button. I can make whatever changes are necessary--cool! How do I "submit" my edit? Is there supposed to be a submit button? I have been getting by with hitting ENTER on the keyboard, but that seems odd.
thanks Jelle and Cyber Ranger!! Where is your donation page?
After user CP and before FAQ.
When the mod was installed the link was there, but after setting all the options the link "downloads" is missing.
When I open downlaods.php
The mod is working ok.
But the link is missing.
