Answer 1

If your C# is running at the client, but it is the server that is breaking... then unless you are accidentally triggering things like DOS detection (or simply overloading the server) I'm not sure what you can do.

I'm also not quite sure how your "browser" comment ties in with XDocument (since they are orthogonal).

The first thing to try, I guess, is to read the feed once only and cache it; don't keep hitting the server.

Answer 2

HTTP error 503 means Service Unavailable, therefore your code is not buggy but there is some kind of server error!
