I used to let anonymous users grab files here but the problem with doing
that is that it also opens up your file areas to those "virus scanner" and
"web safety" scammers who will flag your IPA if they find any files that
are compressed.  As many DOS executables were compressed when compiled, or
by pklite or some such afterwards, it is a good way to get yourself
blacklisted.

So, I agree, they need an account.
