A lot of people have mentioned the downloads area to be hard to navigate, you could try a similar style to deviant art? They have drop down menus where you can select what you want. For example, you could select, "Panther" -> "Skins" -> "WindowsBlinds" -> Panther Skin
As well as having it like that, you can select for example just "Panther" and it would show all the Panther related downloads. That's an idea to keep everyone happy on the downloads? Just an idea I am also thinking of possible designs you could base the "new" site on if you go ahead with it .
