If you were previously running my old Download Manager for IPB 2.0, this script will convert you to use IDM without losing your data.

It converts all of the data as best as possible, however there are some important notes to read in the Known Issues section below.

To use this script, first install IDM like normal. You must keep your old download manager 2.0 tables in the database, and keep the files on your server (in any folder you like).

Then, upload convert.php to your idm_setup/ folder, and visit it in your browser.

Next, go into the ACP, and update the settings to point to the proper paths for the files (also update any other settings here you like).

Next, upload filesizes.php to your idm_setup/ folder and visit it in your browser. (as a note, you can do this part anytime you wish to rebuild filesizes).

Finally, go into the ACP and go to the Tools section. Rebuild category latest file information, and rebuild category cache. I HIGHLY recommend you reconfigure each category, including it's permissions after this is done.

Congratulations, you should now be converted. Please issue any questions in the support topic.
