I've been waiting for something like this for a while now. Thanks for porting the mod.

I have only 1 little problem: there are no threads. Userid (correct rights for the forum, where the dl info should be posted), global data and caterogy data are setted up correctly, but nothing happen when i add a new download.

That's not a bug. You enabled a debugging option.
Settings -> General Settings -> Add Template Name in HTML Comments -> No
