Other keyservers work fine, like wwwkeys.pgp.net .
I have a similar problem here, also with search.keyserver.net, but not allways.
See:

bart@cable-195-162-215-141:~$ gpg --keyserver search.keyserver.net --recv-key FBA6ECF1
gpg: requesting key FBA6ECF1 from search.keyserver.net ...
gpg: [fd 5]: read error: Connection reset by peer
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
gpg: read_block: read error: invalid keyring
gpg: Total number processed: 0
bart@cable-195-162-215-141:~$ gpg --keyserver search.keyserver.net --recv-key FBA6ECF1
gpg: requesting key FBA6ECF1 from search.keyserver.net ...
gpg: key FBA6ECF1: not changed
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:              unchanged: 1
bart@cable-195-162-215-141:~$ 

As you can see, the first time it failed, the second time it succeeds. I'm
going to trace this, when I have some spare time. For now I use wwwkeys.pgp.net
as the default keyserver (in ~/.gnupg/options).
