Your test was possibly not valid. Note the difference in speeds between when I, moments apart, fetched your keys. $ time gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys AC94E4B7 gpg: requesting key AC94E4B7 from hkp server subkeys.pgp.net gpg: key AC94E4B7: "s. keeling (21Dec2003) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" not changed gpg: Total number processed: 1 gpg: unchanged: 1 real 0m17.315s user 0m0.018s sys 0m0.007s $ time gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys AC94E4B7 gpg: requesting key AC94E4B7 from hkp server subkeys.pgp.net gpg: key AC94E4B7: "s. keeling (21Dec2003) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" not changed gpg: Total number processed: 1 gpg: unchanged: 1 real 0m0.374s user 0m0.018s sys 0m0.004s > Who's your provider? Cox, which is fast enough that on good nights I get 700KBps download speeds from kernel.org. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFv0zIS9HxQb37XmcRApJKAJ9mnA/Bi+mgbTQyEcbk9oOjs9Tq9ACfdElL zDSsuG/Ul06kwuFGXehTjY8= =GGUq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
