Mailing List Archive: Using search.keyserver.net?

When I try to obtain a key from search.keyserver.net, I get nasty
errors:

petra:~$ gpg --keyserver search.keyserver.net --recv-keys 0x6456D367
gpg: requesting key 6456D367 from search.keyserver.net ...
gpg: [fd 4]: read error: Connection reset by peer
gpg: Total number processed: 0
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.

Am I doing something wrong or is search.keyserver.net broken? I was
able to submit my key via the command line just fine...

Thanks,
Ben

They're not all very reliable. In my experience, some work well and
some don't. I've been using 'wwwkeys.cz.pgp.net' because it seems to
be more reliable for me (I'm in the UK). As the saying goes, 'your
mileage may vary' ...

Bye,
