How to get attachments from a message?

Hey, i'm recently having some issues with attachments. I want to get the attachment that an user uploaded and then resend in through the bot. I have this code which used to work, but in the last months it stopped working

let files = msg.attachments.map((obj) => new AttachmentBuilder(obj.proxyURL))
console.log(files)
channel.send({ content: `xxx`, embeds: [Embed], components: [Buttons], files: files });

let files = msg.attachments.map((obj) => new AttachmentBuilder(obj.proxyURL))
console.log(files)
channel.send({ content: `xxx`, embeds: [Embed], components: [Buttons], files: files });

The log from console.log

[
  AttachmentBuilder {
    attachment: 'https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1267551776593150105/12

I delete the message right after that ChatGPT suggested me this to get the attachments

        const attachments = await Promise.all(
            msg.attachments.map(async (obj) => {
                const response = await axios.get(obj.proxyURL, { responseType: 'arraybuffer' });
                const buffer = Buffer.from(response.data);
                return new AttachmentBuilder(buffer, { name: obj.name });
            })
        );

        const attachments = await Promise.all(
            msg.attachments.map(async (obj) => {
                const response = await axios.get(obj.proxyURL, { responseType: 'arraybuffer' });
                const buffer = Buffer.from(response.data);
                return new AttachmentBuilder(buffer, { name: obj.name });
            })
        );

But it works only for images, not for files such as a .zip
