Have to log in to see/download attachments?

So I linked a post here on Reddit (my gigantic 217-page monster conversion pdf), only to be told that you have to log in to download the attachment.

Is this intentional? If not, I am guessing it's pretty low on the list of priorities, but maybe there's a simple one-click solution?

Anyway, mostly an FYI if you don't know...

That has always been the case, no? I don't think I've ever been able to see them without logging in.
