Re: [Bcrypt-users] decrypt large file

[<jsh...@br...>]

Unfortunately, the only solution currently is to have more memory  
available. Bcrypt wasn't originally written with the expectation of  
being used for large files. Perhaps in a future version, it will be a  
bit less brain dead about such things.

For the moment, I can only suggest a few courses of action:

1) Kill off all non-essential processes and hope it frees up enough  
memory to decrypt the file.
2) Add more memory to the machine (ugh)
3) Move the file to a machine with more memory for decryption.
4) Create a larger swap partition?

Good luck.
