GPGServices and large (> 100 MB) file encryption
GPGServices is still reporting that large file sizes are not supported, and that it "needs tweaking."
It then encourages users to use the Terminal, but the documentation for file encryption shows how to encrypt with GPGServices, not the terminal. Neither is there an entry in the FAQ or the Tutorials for using GPG with the terminal, and the "First Steps" does not describe using the Terminal for encryption, nor does that document link to any document which does.
So really I suppose there are two problems here:
1) GPGServices still doesn't support large file encryption;
2) GPG Suite website documents do not describe how to use the Terminal to encrypt large files in lieu of the GPGServices encryption.

You can try using GPGServices for larger files as well, but please double check the files are ok before deleting the source files.
All the best,
steve
