ok, try this...

upload jscroller-0.4.js to includes/jquery/

create and upload includes/addons/head-jscroller.php

Code:

<?php

if (stristr(htmlentities($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']), 'head-jscroller.php')) {
Header('Location: ../../index.php');
die();
}

addJSToHead('includes/jquery/jquery.js', 'file');
addJSToHead('includes/jquery/jscroller-0.4.js', 'file');
$inlineJS = '<script type="text/javascript">'."\n";
$inlineJS .= '$(document).ready(function(){'."\n";
$inlineJS .= ' $jScroller.add("#scroller_container","#scroller","down",1);'."\n";
$inlineJS .= ' $jScroller.start();'."\n";
$inlineJS .= '});'."\n";
$inlineJS .= '</script>'."\n\n";
addJSToHead($inlineJS, 'inline');

?>

and your block

Code:

<?php

if ( !defined('BLOCK_FILE') ) {
Header('Location: ../index.php');
die();
}

global $prefix, $db;

$content = '';
$content .= '<div id="scroller_container">'."\n";
$content .= ' <div id="scroller">'."\n";
$n = 1;
$result = $db->sql_query('SELECT lid, title FROM '.$prefix.'_downloads_downloads ORDER BY hits DESC LIMIT 0,10');
while (list($lid, $title) = $db->sql_fetchrow($result)) {
$lid = intval($lid);
$title2 = htmlspecialchars(str_replace('_', ' ', $title), ENT_QUOTES, _CHARSET);
$content .= '<strong><big>·</big></strong> '.$n.
': <a href="modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownloaddetails&lid='.$lid.'">'.$title2.'</a><br />';
++$n;
}
$content .= ' </div>'."\n";
$content .= '</div>'."\n";
?>

ahh yes, I tried it and realized there was some CSS to add too. Add this to your themes/YOUR_THEME/style/style.css

Code:

/* Scroller Box */
#scroller_container {
position: relative;
width: 150px;
height: 100px;
overflow: hidden;
}

#scroller p {
padding: 0;
}
/* Scoller Box */

you can adjust the width and height to your needs. If you run multiple themes you'll need to add to all the style.css files... You can see it working on my testing site @ the bottom

I might also suggest changing the direction to up and adding a true at the end (so it pauses on mouseover), like so:
$jScroller.add("#scroller_container","#scroller","up",1,true);
in your head-jscroller.php file Wink

yes, here's the part you will need to modify in your block

Code:

$result = $db->sql_query('SELECT lid, title, hits FROM '.$prefix.'_downloads_downloads ORDER BY hits DESC LIMIT 0,10');
while (list($lid, $title, $hits) = $db->sql_fetchrow($result)) {
$lid = intval($lid);
$title2 = htmlspecialchars(str_replace('_', ' ', $title), ENT_QUOTES, _CHARSET);
$hits = intval($hits);
$content .= '<strong><big>·</big></strong> '.$n.
': <a href="modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownloaddetails&lid='.$lid.'">'.$title2.'</a><br />Hits: '.$hits.'<br />';
++$n;
}
