If this proves too much for us to handle, we may cut this short, but really hope that won't be the case.

It's practically essential to upload your own torrents. There are FAQs on the site that help you do it properly. If you sign up now you won't get the benefit of them not tracking downloads during 'Leechfest', but if you upload something you'll be able to take advantage of the extra demand.
