I assumed this was a programming issue (perhaps unregulated retries) rather than the app legitimately trying to locate me 10,000 times per day.
1. Open VLC, and open the stream as usual
2. Let the stream load - it'll load in lower quality first
3. Before it automatically transitions to the higher quality stream, go to Video --> Video Track --> Disable. The video will now be disabled.
4. Wait for a bit. Go to Video --> Video Track --> Track 1. The video will now be streamed in its highest quality mode without crashing.
This worked for me, hope it works for others!

It's great that Linode is passing these improvements to their customers free of charge. A while back they increased RAM allocated to all users without increasing prices, which was a great surprise. Things like this make me happy to host my multiple projects with them.
It's on Github: https://github.com/evanwon/WPFCustomMessageBox
There's more to be done, but it's been handy for me so far!
- Why can't I find the installation directory? (ClickOnce doesn't use the standard C:/Program Files/ location, it stores program files in C:/Users/<your username>/AppData/Local/Apps/2.0 for security reasons.)
- Why does the installer need a network connection? (ClickOnce downloads the required setup files from the internet.)
The lack of a standard Program Files/.exe deployment also makes it difficult to map filetype associations, which is also a frequent complaint.
I'll likely be going with non-ClickOnce deployments for the future. ClickOnce is great for deploying production software at work, but for a consumer audience, it isn't quite perfect.
(Personally, I really like ClickOnce.)
I use ClickOnce for several of my applications, and I'd say the users who dislike it the most have the highest technical aptitude (which, I'd guess, is a large part of GitHub's user base).
I love that they included the ICS home screen's "glass desktop" effect in the "Delight me in surprising ways" section (http://developer.android.com/design/static/content/principle...). It's a completely unimportant feature, but the first time I swiped past the edge of my rightmost homescreen and saw the effect, I appreciated the attention to detail.
Where I disagree is with their "Pictures are faster than words" suggestion. I completely agree that many things are best said with images, but I've had a hard time identifying the function of several features in the icon-driven UI's featured in both ICS and in new Google web redesign. In ICS's Gmail app, I'd understand the words "Mark Unread" much quicker than the "sealed envelope" icon which I had to experimentally discover.
It's also interesting to note that in ICS Gmail, Mark Unread is an icon and Report Spam is text, where in web Gmail, Mark Unread is text and Report Spam is a stop sign.
There's quite a bit of Trent Reznor in this list.
I developed MarkdownPad (http://markdownpad.com) for Windows, and there's also Mou for Mac and Retext for Linux.
Would you mind sending me an email, evan [at] markdownpad.com? I'd love to talk typography some more.
Either way, yes, I plan on adding more rendering options for sure.
