No problem. Maybe the keyserver you are using is currently a bit slow. 
Or at least one of the keyservers that hide behind the keyserver 
address you are using. The keyserver address is often just an alias for 
a whole bunch of keyservers and it's pure luck whether one is 
redirected to a fast one or a slow one or one that doesn't answer at 
all.

You might want to set the timeout for a keyserver request to a smaller 
value. See 'man gpg' and search for "timeout". The default value is 30 
seconds. You could try whether 10 seconds is sufficient.

Regards,
Ingo
