[ale] PGP Key servers timing out

[Scott Castaline]

Hey Jeremy,

Just got a chance to try out your suggestion of server and I'm getting 
the same thing, time out error. I originally had in my config file to 
search from the pool on the prior attempt and was getting essentially 
the same time out error, so I'm wondering if it's something at my end.
