I'm honestly not trying to be antagonistic or hostile here but it just seems like you're typing a ton of words to speak on the behalf of a ten-year-old response by the devs.

I don't think I'm being too drastic in requesting to the developers that maybe we revisit this idea and I also genuinely don't believe that I'd be the only person who would like to see it added either. I don't know see why that opens the door for me to be lectured about how browsers work or "the nature of the internet," but go off.

I don't think it's entirely unfair to ask for user consent of allowing easy downloading of their uploads. There is already per-track user consent to comments and a plethora of licensing options that let's be real, no one here is losing sleep over deciding which one to use.

But like I said - I already understand that if someone *really* wants to download something, they obviously still can, but that statement can be applied anywhere. This also doesn't prevent any other music hosting site from offering the same option to disable downloads. Or some disclaimer to privacy either concerning the nature of the internet. I'm not asking for multi-stage file encryption here, but user choice.

I've always appreciated WeeklyBeats for the great interface/deadline and the ability to listen and comment on the community's work (again, if they allow it). I also don't think there is an ideological motive for Tim or anybody to *force* users to allow downloading when participating in WeeklyBeats either. Heck, that initial response in this thread is over a decade old at this point.

Bumping this to the front page again -
"Allow Downloads" could be a checkbox option on upload

About 10 mins before reading this I actually downloaded your 240107 tune. (just coincidental!)  My studio machine is offline; so download is how I listen on proper speakers via my main DAC. (track is amazing btw) But I can understand the request - and to be fair, there are tunes I'd have disabled DL for on in the past!

Hah - well I still appreciate it Chris and thank you- hope you're doing well!

I guess for me the illusion of privacy is a strong motivation to keep going. I realize that if anyone *really* wants a track that they will still find a way to get it, though. But an option to create that extra step goes a long way.
