For me, that's a rare occurrence. Hence my calling attention to your

What keyserver are you using Brad? I typically use mit, but the lag
times have been *really* long. I've been ctrl-c'ing Frank's key for
days because it takes too long. I finally just now waited it
out... about 45 seconds (okay, I guess I'm just impatient, but
still...) and got it.
Anyway, it seems the mit keyservers are getting pretty laggy these
days.

I'm obviously not Brad, but Tbird/Enigmail uses subkeys.pgp.net.

I'd tried several times, well, Claws-Mail/GPG did. They're set up here
to grab keys that aren't available locally. The apparent
non-availability of Frank's key meant that CM became unusable during
the search period which was anything up to 60 seconds. As this
occurred several times, I assumed Frank hadn't uploaded his key, hence
my "complaint".
Was it merely coincidence that Frank's key immediately became available
to me after that message? Only the servers know. :-)

No, Frank also knows, That key was uploaded months ago.

Yes, of course you do. My comment was not meant to reflect on you in
any way.
It's just typical that things updated at about the time of my problem
getting hold of your key. We'll probably never know what the issue was.

I use mutt, and it invokes gpg which tries to grab keys it doesn't
already have with the same symptom... up to about 60 seconds of
waiting. What I don't know is what's happening during that wait. Is it
a matter of gpg not being able to contact the servers or do the
servers take that long to run the query. It seems to run in waves
too. There'll be a days where everything is fine and even looking up
new keys takes only a few seconds and then other days every new key
will time out. I get a little to quick on the ctrl-c sometimes as a
result...

Before I had an always on connection, I used to poll the servers
manually to collect keys. It often took that long for the servers to
respond. A lot depends on how the query is performed. For example, a
search for a particular key ID is usually quicker than a search for a
person's name. Even so, a key ID search can /still/ take forever (or
so it seems at the time) to complete.

Since CM (or Mutt in your case) is unusable during the search, I'm not
surprised you hit Ctrl-C.

If it's taking 60 seconds in this pause, you could always try
attaching strace to it and seeing what's up. (or just modify the gpg
command in .muttrc to run it under strace)
