    Earlier today i upgraded one of my low-traffic/simple sites from D5 to D6. It went very smooth and I was done in less than an hour.

    But now i am planning on upgrading my larger, high-traffic, more complex (more modules & customization) site to D6 so i am wondering if anyone has any horror stories (or success stories) to share before i jump in.

    I upgraded my one Drupal site from version 5 to version 6 without any problem.
    Make sure you check modules you are using is available for version 6 and use the right version modules.

    You can also try to upgrade first on local system by installing wampserver.

    well the upgrade went "ok" .. I had some major glitches that took a few hours to work out, and minor glitches/annoyances that i've been working on for a week.. but overall, the upgrade went pretty well.
