It is the gnupg default. What justification do we have for imposing
this change on users?Sent from my iPhone

It does not respond anymore. Also other users have the same issue: http://twitter.com/#!/hwoarang_/status/28944710273867776

Lately many keyservers had issues and I have still to find a reliable one. Also asked Werner Koch from gnupg.org if he could recommend any keyserver but the answer was that the ones he thought were reliable have had some issues lately as well.
FYI.

So no reason to change from one unreliable server to another.

That's true.
I'm investigating a solution to this but need more time. I hope we can find a solution together with the gnupg.org guys.

Yes, it seems to work very will. Let's test this 1 or 2 days. Also we have a man at MIT, afaik ;)
That might be a good solution. But currently I have an issue with GPG Keychain Access and this server. I can upload keys perfectly but search seems somewhat broken. All I get is "No keys found!"
Talked to Mento about this. He said this will most likely be fixed when new macgpgme comes out. So most likely won't be fixed in the current GPG Keychain Access.

I guess this one might the best option: http://pool.sks-keyservers.net/
It uses Round robin DNS and monitors the status of current servers: http://sks-keyservers.net/status/ -

The server http://pool.sks-keyservers.net does not allow to search for keys: "this keyserver type only supports key retrieval".

Hold until key servers stabilise.

- Assigned user cleared.
Might be a good choice: https://github.com/GPGTools/GPGTools/wiki/Keyservers

Nothing. is invalid, imo.
We can clean up the default list we deliver and exclude the key servers that have been broken for a while. (see wiki for that info). Either create a new ticket for that or ignore for now. What do you think?
Also currently we have two places to modify key server usage. 1) GKA 2) GPGPref
Should that be centralized?
