How 'bout pgp.mit.edu ?
As I recall, there is not a good public key server ... As I wrote in: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch-gnupg.en.html As of now, good keyservers are: keyserver wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net keyserver wwwkeys.pgp.net Here one must be careful not to create more than 2 sub-keys. If you do, keyservers on pgp.net will corrupt your key. Also, only one keyserver can be specified in $HOME/.gnupg/options. Unfortunately, the following does not work any more: keyserver search.keyserver.net keyserver pgp.ai.mit.edu ... The following will upload my key "A8061F32" to multiple key servers: $ for xx in us es cz de dk uk ch net.uk earth.net.uk; \ $ do gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.$xx.pgp.net --send-keys A8061F32; done ---- (My additional comment here) --- keyserver.net is proprietary service mit one seems low bandwidth or firewall protected...
