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.

Has anyone upgraded to 3.8.11 with php 7.1 and used Downloads II successfully? Are there any tweaks needed? Any and all insights will be greatly appreciated!
Cool. I am getting as much info as I can before I start. Going to buy a fresh license to get access to 3.8.11 and try it on a different server first, see if I can get it working before going live on our main server. I will share everything I discover here, that Downloads II mod is the key to our entire existence. Crazy that vBulletin doesn't continue to support 3.8x, we sure would love it.
I'm going to forge ahead, will be setting up new server today.
Then migrate sites to it, then download and run the 3.8.11 installer, and see if it will run vb 3.8.11 on the new server.
Couple of questions: should the new server be set up with php 7.1 to begin?
What version of MySQL ?
