I encourage you to use their website, as you probably get the service for free thanks to their adverts.
However, for educational purposes, you can use the browser's built-in network analyzer (I use Google Chrome) or wireshark to get the URL:
http://8303.live.streamtheworld.com/WKXWFMAAC
A full list of URL's can be found in the xml file:
http://playerservices.streamtheworld.com/api/livestream?version=1.5&mount=WKXWFMAAC&lang=EN&transports=http&nobuf=1355525218692
Anyhow, my VLC doesn't seem to connect whilst Totem works perfectly fine, and I can download the stream as well.
