I just tried it again and it works from here.  I can see 7 keys on that

Covering all bases and just in case, you're not trying to connect behind some 
firewall/gateway that is blocking all but http/https packets?

Have you checked if you can ping the server?


My gpg version is:  

app-crypt/gnupg-2.0.17(09:22:32 02/20/11)(bzip2 ldap nls -adns -caps -doc -
openct -pcsc-lite -selinux -smartcard -static)
