perhaps it was just a temporary problem. When I search for the key I get
the following:

gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --search-keys 886DDD89
gpg: searching for "886DDD89" from hkp server keys.gnupg.net
(1)     deb.torproject.org archive signing key
          2048 bit RSA key 886DDD89, created: 2009-09-04

You can install this software without the key by ignoring the warning,
but this is not recommended.

For receiving the key you can try another keyserver like pgp.mit.edu or
pool.sks-keyservers.net.
If you prefer a Webbrowser you can try this link:
