This message means that either
1. The Jamfile in the current directory does not declare a target called 
"libtorrent", or
2. The current directory has not Jamfile at all.

I've just checked out the library and see the following in Jamfile:

lib torrent
: ....

so it really looks like you're using the wrong target name. Try

bjam torrent

It works for me.
