download, again.
I have search through the forums, it is either the search is not very well or there isn't an answer just yet.
I have figured out if i want it to turn links2 to something like the download.com i will need to chnage the url address to the file url address. But how am i goiog put things like description of the software, numbers of download of the software, top ten software download in the catalog. redirect the user to another page after they have download...etc..... any mods that will do all that??

This has been discussed already.

Links2 does most of the stuff you want already, for example number of downloads is the same as "Hits" and you just need people to enter the url to their file and it will download automatically etc....

...and the description field is already there too.

You will want to turn on Detailed Pages in the links.cfg. Then simply customise your detailed.html template to suit your needs. This is will take the user to a description and direct link to the file. You will need to search the forum for the correct url to link to the detailed page in the link.html template. On the detailed page you can enter fields such as the Hits, When it was added, The submitter + mail, description, etc...
