Normally within a hour or two. The SKS keyservers use a very fast and efficient protocol to exchange updates. Updates are emailed to other keyservers running different software packages as well as the older PKS servers to try and keep them updated. >> ?

The pool is best, hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net Good SKS status pages are: http://www.pramberger.at/peter/services/keyserver/network/ and http://sks-keyservers.net/status/ >> And my last question is how to find for a specific key ? > > You can (a) point your web browser to one of the keyserver addresses, > because (almost) all keyservers feature a web search form, (b) use the > GnuPG command line client with "gpg --search-keys" or (c) use the search > functionality provided by MUA plugins such as Enigmail (Mozilla > Thunderbird). Keyserver web pages listen on port 11371, so one needs to add the port to the browser URL: http://keyserver.gingerbear.net:11371/ About 1/2 of the SKS servers also listen on port 80, the default http port, for users behind restrictive firewalls. There's even an email protocol for user behind REALLY restrictive firewalls. Peter Pramberger's status page indicates which servers have these capabilities. There are presently eight or so servers supporting IPv6. That should improve with time. -- John P.
