Another possibility, which is now working for me, is:
(setq mc-pgp-keyserver-address "swissnet.ai.mit.edu"
mc-pgp-keyserver-port 11371
mc-pgp-keyserver-url-template "/pks/lookup?op=get&search=%s")
This seems to be much faster (and doesn't need the timeout), but is
clearly marked as a "BETA TEST" server on the associated web page.
Use at your own risk.
