Randomly, on minecraft.net and subdirectories, I get an error such as 

Access Denied

You don't have permission to access "http://www.minecraft.net/get-minecraft/" on this server.
Reference #18.bc956453.1659169487.42659a0 

Almost every time I visit the site, either instantly or after clicking on a link, I get this error, then refreshing only shows the error again, with a different reference number, and usually about 5 minutes later, refreshing takes me to the actual site. A few times, about 5 more minutes later, it happens again.

The request to the server is 403, forbidden, and sends back this page.

This is incredibly annoying, as you can imagine, and means I cannot access the website when I want to, and have to wait a considerable amount of time for it to actually work properly, and then it sometimes does it again.

Other subdomains, such as help, checkout, feedback, education and educommunity are not affected by this, though I wouldn't expect that, as they very likely run on separate servers.
