Hi! First post here, sadly for reporting problems with Bardu. But hopefully it will get resolved. 
I use Ubuntu 9.10 amd64 with PTS 2.2.0. I had 2.0.0 installed bedfore and had many problems installing tests with it as well (very slow downloads for specviewperf, many tests would not install correctly - mplayer-base, yafray...) but lets take it one step at a time.
Right now I'm plagued by wget/curl not getting the file URL. If I try to download these files manually there are no complications. There seems to be a problem with how PTS passes the argument to wget/curl.
Code:
$ phoronix-test-suite install warsow
