Well, I did not have such a problem last time I tried - although every now and then I have found that the key servers get busy and connections do not succeed. Have you tried connecting to a different keyserver? PS. Also, make sure that you do not attempt connections too frequently in case some of the key servers are blacklisting repeat offenders. -- Regards, Mick
