I want to use my drupal site for managing source and binary releases of my software. I would like to be able to just upload a new tarball when I have a new release, and have it show up in a download area sorted by date. I suspect that this functionality has already been coded, but I have not been able to find it. I looked through the modules but saw nothing but images, which is not exactly what I need.

Any suggestions?

You should be able to do it with the file field module

That file field module looks like the ticket. Unfortunately my server only has PHP 4.3.9, and I can't upgrade it (because IT has my group by the ball-hairs).

Any suggestions for something I can use under PHP 4.3.9? Other than a suicidal dose of alcoholic beverages?

There's also the core upload module, though filefield is much better and is replacing 'upload' for d7.

I tried the upload module, but it seems that I still have to attach my tarball to some other object, like a blog entry or a story. Is there a way to make my tarballs first-class citizens with the core upload module?

Just create a node type specifically for them (call it "file" or whatever).
