This is very nice! Personally I'd really like some kind of login for the uploader so I can offer this service to friends and family (and myself ;)) without the risk of someone discovering the url and using it as a way to distribute illegal things... Perhaps it is easy to do with Apache/Nginx (when the upload site is on another subdomain for example), I don't know actually.

The speeds issue can be solved by running on a cheap DO droplet or scaleway arm server btw (my city luckily has fiber everywhere :)).

The problem with ACL is that I'm worried it will make the project more complex. I've added an issue on GitHub for future reference (https://github.com/remie/YouTransfer/issues/105)
Facebook integration might be nice here so that you could simply allow your FB friends, or perhaps those in a certain group, to share files.
