When I tried to upload my story to thesims2.com, there was this msg: "Upload failed. Transfer timed out. Error code: 6 Transaction ID: 3719047311" The website says it could be a slow connection. But I am using 256K, is it still not fast enough?

256k is a hypothetical figure that in practice is unachievable. Downloads usually run at 10% of the speed and uploads 5% of the speed.

So you're only going to be uploading at about 12k a second anyway.

Be advised that it may be timing out inadvertedly on Maxis' end, for reasons including but not necessarily limited to: heavy traffic, copious uploading/downloading from other users, congestion elsewhere on the internet and also because its the Xmas holidays and more people at home = more people online than usual :)
