Legacy Error: Filetype not allowed

I recently had a server move, at which point I updated to the latest vbDownloads and vbulletin 4 version. Now I've discovered that my copy of vbDownloads won't allow zip uploads, despite having all the settings right (folder location, extension settings) and server settings (uploads are allowed, plenty of time and memory for it). It only seems to happen to zips that I have noticed so far. When I try to add a zip file to my Download it says Error: Filetype not allowed.

Any guesses?

Can you upload the file to a hosting platform like Dropbox so I can take a look? From looking at the code, the only way this could possibly happen is if the file did not have an extension - that's literally the only place that exact wording is used as an error message.
 
Actually, I figured it out. I (and the person who reported the error to me) was trying to upload the filetype in the wrong place. The main mods section only takes a .mod extension, but there are other areas where .zips are ok to upload. I think maybe I'll change this thread into a suggestion:

How about a different error message when someone is trying to upload the wrong filetype to a section of the database?
