where is the Response Code decoder?

Why do my seeded torrents randomly give me error codes, such as Tracker gave HTTP response code 403 (Forbidden).

help with adding first torrent

I was able to get a little further with transmission.....Please see attached screen shots....Not sure if I am going in the right direction, but "download" seems to be stuck. Will a tracker address appear after download?
