I think it is normal to open a number of connections. Since it needs to download new data for the maps. Stuff that is in your cache might be outdated. Or it is overwritten with different data from other places at your last voyage on this marble.
I can't imagine why it would reinstall every bootup though. I never notice that on my end. But I'm still using Google Earth ver 6.1.0.5001. No need to change, imho.
