Comment (by Otto42):

 Make it optional. Really, really optional. I would even default it to not
 do this behavior.

 Because having file downloads come out of the database could bring down a
 site really quick for larger/more popular downloads. If I'm posting a file
 more than, say, a hundred KB, I would not want it in the DB for simple
 speed reasons.

 Also, web hosts everywhere will hate you if you enable this sort of thing.
 Their mySQL databases are already oversold/overloaded, and this will only
 make that problem a lot worse.
