I had a hunch that reinstallation or trying a different port weren't necessary. I probed a bit more and found some processes named netsession_win.exe in Task Manager. I stopped these. I then went on to uninstall some software named Akamai* from Add/Remove programs, and now all is well.
Hope this helps someone else.
