I've just seen the demo. What about security? Can anybody just "dump" files on your server?
Also, when people run this at home on their home computers there is limited upload speed (typically 1/10th of the download speed).

You could opt for the S3 storage provider, which will dump the files to Amazon AWS instead.
The YouTransfer project does not implement access control or SSL, so it is highly recommended that you look at the hosting options on the Wiki (https://github.com/remie/YouTransfer/wiki/hosting).
I'm afraid there is not much the project can do concerning upload speeds of individual connections at home :)
The speeds issue can be solved by running on a cheap DO droplet or scaleway arm server btw (my city luckily has fiber everywhere :)).
