Mode 3 works but not 0

[willdorf]

Trying to crack a 7z file I forgot the password for.

Got a hash from it, and successfully tested brute force on it for 1 and 2 character combos:

hashcat64 -m 11600 -a 3 freeze.hash ?a?a --increment --status

now want to try a dictionary attack.

hashcat64 -m 11600 -a 0 freeze.hash rockyou.txt --status

So, this starts up the same way, and I get status updates every 10s or so, and it's saying 89 H/s..

But, progress just sits at 0, and the H/s slowly drops over time.

What's going on?

progress only updates once it hits a checkpoint which can take a while with such low speed.

When I was doing mode 3 it updated every new status, both the progress and candidates...

Can I change the checkpoint size so it updates more frequently?
