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.
there is one already you need to use the search button more.
And not even that is necessary, he can click the "add-on" link in the right top of this thread, just below the download of downloads II.
It can't be any easier.
Just one more question. I have catagory Games>First Person Shoot> Online
and if I got to the main page I see Games with the subcatagory First Person Shooter and Online. How do I get it so that it just says First Person Shooter?
Example http://www.rzgamers.com/downloads.php
That is odd by itself. What type of server are you on? Is it Windows based?
Because the file you download via this module is a file that's been copied from the downloads folder to the ec_tmp folder and renamed in the process.
If you are willing to PM me your server url along with an user account and password for FTP access I'll take a look. Otherwise, I don't know what else to tell you. I know of no one else with this problem.
PM sent with the needed info.
I also encounter another problem. When I upload, there's no file that will be copied to ec_tmp folder.

Your best option may be to set "Hide sub-categories on the main page?" to "Yes" (that's in admincp -> Downloads -> Settings). That won't give you exactly what you want but it will give you a look like this: http://www.strategyzoneonline.com/forums/downloads.php?
