Passwordlist constantly exhausted

[celt]

Hi Everyone,

I;ve managed to work most of my learning with HashCat up to this point.

Hashcat said I exhausted the rockyou list so I added another this one is all but 500 meg and it was exhausted within the first 5 mins attempting to crack an MD5 single hash?

Here's the syntax I've been using...

root@LabMachine:~# hashcat -a 0 -m 0   -o cracked.txt  /root/Desktop/hash.txt /root/Downloads/passphrases.txt  --force



The passphrases is the latest word list I've added. Is there a way to clear out the cache is this is the problem?

Thanks,
