Disable possibility of unlogged users to download (its broken)

Since there were changes to the point system, there is also a problem when an unlogged person downloads stl/3mf, we are not receiving downloads! That’s a huge problem since we are receiving a fraction of points and our numbers are not growing, then we are not getting to trends, etc. I hope you will fix it ASAP because at the moment it is really not worth uploading anything!

Thank you

I agree, with the point system reduction + download will not be count for non-account download. That is a huge hit. Probably this explains why I see some user drop to 0 downloads.

On Printables, non-account downloads are still being counted. But I understand that defeat the entire purpose to fight against volume bots.

Could have left only registered account to download with the point reduction but right now, it’s a big kick in the teeth.

We had models ready to upload today since we wanted to upload in a two-day phase, but now we are not uploading even tho we are missing the contest, it would be a wasted upload in our eyes. I was literally a little depressed yesterday since it takes a lot of work and the numbers are just wrong :frowning:
