Regardless of what port it's on, I've had a horrible time working with the keyserver.net keyserver. It times out all the time, I get EOFs, things like that. I've never actually been sure if I get anything from (not to mention to) there.
Then one day (about 5 minutes ago) I did this: gpg --keyserver belgium.keyserver.net --refresh-keys And it just sat there, doing nothing. It's almost as if something is blocking the traffic. I *am* behind a transparent proxy farm that my ISP runs that I can do jack-squat about, so I figured that might be [part of] the problem, but I can talk x-hkp:// to pgp.mit.edu no problem. Very strange. So then I went and did gpg --export --armour 57F6E7BD And cut & paste that to the "Add a key" window of keyserver.net... and get an error saying "The keyring you have submitted is invalid" What's up with that? Last I checked (and my web of trust isn't too bad) I thought I was doing things right... My guess is something is seriously foobar'd with keyserver.net but that worries me because like half the FOSS world uses their servers. And if it's not them, then...?
