I use certserver.pgp.com
There's a GnuPG options file which where you can put your default
keyserver using (for example):
keyserver certserver.pgp.com
You can overide this using gpg --keyserver www.keys.us.pgp.net
At times, new users of GnuPG/PGP do not upload their public keys and as
such you will always get a "no key" error or something... :(
HTH. Cheers.
