Downloading My Skin

So I'm trying to download my skin from minecraft.net, via this link:

'minecraft.net/skin/xTwistedMelonx.png'

But when I use this link, an HTML based error shows:

This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
<Error>
<Code>AccessDenied</Code>

</HostId>
</Error>

I should also mention that the link changes to:

https://s3.amazonaws.com/MinecraftSkins ... Melonx.png

Any clues??

Many Thanks,
Melon
