I'd like to look at your current debug.log file and try to understand what's going. It might just be a really slow connection on the other side, or maybe something's wrong and failed and retried. Taking too long could confuse other users. Martti, how long did it take to start downloading blocks when you ran it, and how fast did it download? It already uses SO\_REUSEADDR so it can bind to the port if it's in TIME\_WAIT state after being closed. The only time it should fail to bind is when the program really is already running. It's important that two copies of Bitcoin not run on the same machine at once because they would be modifying the database at the same time. There is never any need to run two on one machine as coin generation will now use multiple processors automatically. I'm not sure what those lib errors are, I'll do some searching.
