I'm new to using bots. I've had some success, using it on the wiki appropedia.org, but when I run replace.py without the -always parameter, I get an error. The second time I answer "y" (yes), I get "RuntimeError: thread already started" and the bot stops.

Since revision 5115 [0] this error has been caught, so you are using an old version (from before march). Updating via SVN [1] or a nightly [2] should fix the issue.
