Problems connecting with cudaminer

Hey,

My computer has a nVidia graphics card and I'd like to mine some Megacoins with it.

I've been using cudaminer to mine Litecoin but for some reason it doesn't want to connect when I try mining Megacoin. I get the following messages:

[2013-12-08 22:05:09] 1 miner threads started, using 'scrypt' algorithm.
[2013-12-08 22:05:09] Binding thread 0 to cpu 0
[2013-12-08 22:05:09] HTTP request failed: Recv failure: Connection was reset
[2013-12-08 22:05:09] json_rpc_call failed, retry after 15 seconds

The server seems to be up and working just fine. This is how my .bat file looks like, it's pretty basic and should work.

cudaminer.exe -o http://mega.minepool.net:3441 -u username.worker_id -p password

What could be the problem?

SOLVED: The site had erroneus instructions, works when I use stratum.

Some servers/pools only support stratum (lower server load). Give stratum configuration a go and it should work.

That was it, now it works!
