The XenForo Resource Manager allows your community to organize downloads, tutorials, guides, and more.

Resources focus more on the primary content, rather than the discussion around it. Users can review and rate the resources they've used, or watch the ones they're interested in and automatically be notified when the resource is updated.

Resources aren't totally separate from the forum though. A thread can automatically be created for each resource, creating a place to provide feedback, ask questions, and have discussions with the author.
