Can we make it so that non-members can see and download attachments?

I think that letting non-members download files and see the images we post would really help this forum. It would open up a lot of resources to newcomers without making them go through the signup process. I sent a link to people on the PSXDEV discord channel about a question that I posted and they could not download my attachment or see the reference photo.

PSXDEV.NET is free and I've been operating it out of my pocket for over 9 years now with zero ads or donations asked. I disabled downloads without signups ages ago because the server was being absolutely hammered with people just hot-linking and downloading like crazy and it was costing me hundreds of dollars a month in bandwidth quota being exceeded. If I recall, the server was pushing out over 200 GB of data per month.
Development Console: SCPH-5502 with 8MB RAM, MM3 Modchip, PAL 60 Colour Modification (for NTSC), PSIO Switch Board, DB-9 breakout headers for both RGB and Serial output and an Xplorer with CAETLA 0.34.

PlayStation Development PC: Windows 98 SE, Pentium 3 at 400MHz, 128MB SDRAM, DTL-H2000, DTL-H2010, DTL-H201A, DTL-S2020 (with 4GB SCSI-2 HDD), 21" Sony G420, CD-R burner, 3.25" and 5.25" Floppy Diskette Drives, ZIP 100 Diskette Drive and an IBM Model M keyboard.
