SKS OpenPGP Keyserver
@keyserver.wetnet.net

SKS is an OpenPGP keyserver whose goal is to provide easy to deploy, decentralized, and highly reliable synchronization. That means that a key submitted to one SKS server will quickly be distributed to all key servers, and even wildly out-of-date servers, or servers that experience spotty connectivity, can fully synchronize with rest of the system.

You can find out more about SKS, along with links to graphs of the network status here.
