So I've wrote a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and today I got this answer from  pgp.mit.edu:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] is the correct address for pgp.mit.edu

The last time I tried, which was admitedly a while ago, I was unable
to get in touch with anyone associated with keyserver.net in order to
set up a link between the two keyservers.  If anyone at keyserver.net
is reading this and can direct me to the right person, please let me
know.

(n.b. The mail was also addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED])

So it might be better to use pgp.mit.edu instead of keyserver.net
because their service seems to be broken.
