Can't verify the Master keys

So, here's my issue. I set up pacman-key --init just fine.

Then I tried to add the master keys, but receive the following error:

pacman-key -r 0x6AC6A4C2 0x824B18E8 0x4C7EA887 0xCDFD6BB0 0xFFF979E7
gpg: requesting key 6AC6A4C2 from hkp server pgp.mit.edu
gpg: requesting key 824B18E8 from hkp server pgp.mit.edu
gpg: requesting key 4C7EA887 from hkp server pgp.mit.edu
gpg: requesting key CDFD6BB0 from hkp server pgp.mit.edu
gpg: requesting key FFF979E7 from hkp server pgp.mit.edu
gpg: keyserver timed out
gpg: keyserver receive failed: keyserver error
==> Updating trust database...
gpg: no need for a trustdb check

Doing it one-by-one also fails (but doesn't time out):

pacman-key -r 0x6AC6A4C2 
gpg: requesting key 6AC6A4C2 from hkp server pgp.mit.edu
gpgkeys: key 6AC6A4C2 not found on keyserver
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
gpg: Total number processed: 0
==> Updating trust database...
gpg: no need for a trustdb check

The default server (hkp://keys.gnupg.net) always times out.

Ideas?

Change keyserver (pgp.mit.edu)

I've tried every keyserver on the wiki page here with the same result: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_server … keyservers

Are you on a network that could block keyserver requests?
