It would appear that the libbt 1.05 code I’ve been using as a basis for Niagara had the bind command which binds a BSD socket to an external listen port (essential for bittorrent) disabled, essentially firewalling the client. Oops…
The good news is that I’ve now debugged the issue and am prepping the 0.0.3 release to fix this. Should be up at Niagara’s sourceforge site in about 15 minutes.

Version 0.0.2 of Niagara has been released!
Currently only the command-line library is available. I’ve released
this as I’m happy with the current basic level of functionality
provided, and now want to spend some time implementing the Cocoa
client for OS X. Once this is moving ahead, I’ll get to work on DHT
and encryption.
Currently three command-line tools are available - btget (basic
torrent client), btlist (torrent and tracker metadata information
tool) and btcheck (checks a completed download for integrity). The
main improvement in this release is the use of Laurent Demailly’s
http_tiny library to add tracker scraping to btlist.
For more information see the README, CHANGELOG and man pages within
the archive.
Get it while it’s hot at Sourceforge.net.
Please direct feedback to the niagara-devel mailing list.
