Try using an alternative URL to get the public IP address, updating the offending line in your conkyrc to this should sort it:
Code:
EXTERNAL IP: ${pre_exec wget -qO- whatismyip.org}
Note I changed the execi to be pre_exec so this would then only execute when conky first runs rather than every so often, I am assuming that once conky is running (on login?) you will not have your IP address changing (if at all) until you've atleast logged out and logged in at some point later?
Details for pre_exec from the conky docs are:
Code:
pre_exec
Executes a shell command one time before conky displays anything and puts output as text.

I was wondering if it might've been an issue on their side. Thanks! ^.^d
Edit: Yeah, you'd be correct, there's really no need for a constant update. Good observation!
