Hi
Do you mean the dates shown for Downloads?  Presume you mean the Created Date

Not sure this can be done for Downloads in a selected Category.  It can be done for all Downloads.  It could also be done if you used the Content plugin in a regular Joomla! article as you can specify which layout to use, so you could set up a new layout which omits the created date.

For example in the 'Standard Files Layout without Checkboxes v2.5' layout you will find:

Code Select Expand

   <tr>
      <td width="20%" align="left" valign="top">{description}</td><td width="50%" align="left" valign="top">{mp3_player}<br />{mp3_id3_tag}<br /> {preview_url}</td>
<td width="15%" valign="top"> {created_date_title}<br /> {filesize_title}<br /> {hits_title}</td>
      <td text-align="right" width="10%" valign="top">{created_date_value}<br />{filesize_value}<br />{hits_value}</td>
</tr>
So create a new layout by copying it and the remove the {created_date_title} and {created_date_value} place holders, and also the two trailing
 tags to get

Code Select Expand

   <tr>
      <td width="20%" align="left" valign="top">{description}</td><td width="50%" align="left" valign="top">{mp3_player}<br />{mp3_id3_tag}<br /> {preview_url}</td>
<td width="15%" valign="top"> {filesize_title}<br /> {hits_title}</td>
      <td text-align="right" width="10%" valign="top">{filesize_value}<br />{hits_value}</td>
</tr>

Make the new layout the Active one.  No created Dates will then be shown.  You may also need to create a new version of your Download Details layout and edit similarly.  ALWAYS MAKE A COPY!!!
