Maybe someone can help me with this. I did my first mining two days ago with Slush. I ran it for about a day. Now, the same exact command line gives me the following error:

[2013-06-24 11:33:05] Started cgminer 3.2.2
[2013-06-24 11:33:05] Probing for an alive pool
[2013-06-24 11:33:06] Pool 0 slow/down or URL or credentials invalid

./cgminer -o http://api.bitcoin.cz:8332 -u username.workername -p password -I 12 --temp-cutoff 80

What gives?

Why don't you use:

stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333

so your command line would be like the following:

./cgminer -o http://stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u username.workername -p password -I 12 --temp-cutoff 80

Actually, cgminer recommends a "special" protocol setting for stratum connection:

cgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.bitcoin.cz -p 3333 ...

instead of http://

OP's problem could have been that redirection from api2 to stratum worked at his first try and it did not at the second one.
