it's because the houses are larger files, so they take up way more bandwidth. Try compressing them with winrar on "best" setting ... you can get them down to about half their size that way.

Subject: [sims2housing] Re: Is this a bandwidth problem already?
Not sure how many people are having the same problem as missgmc but
i've logged in under an old account and i get the same error
message. Not sure exactly what is wrong with it, the message
appears for every file on Sims 2 Housing but for none on Sims 2
Clothing. I've played around a little and i've just added the
retirement home direct under files and downloaded it ok under the
other account so i'll added the other two houses too until i can
figure out what the problem is.
Did anyone actually manage to download a house before today?
Sorry guys
