How to decrypt EGA .crypt files?

Question

[Sammy]

Hiya,

I downloaded some files from EGA via Aspera, they are encrypted so I was provided with a key. The issue is I don't know how to decrypt them. I tried: https://github.com/EGA-archive/ega-decryptor but need to install apache 'cus ant command won't work plus it's for .CIP files and I have .CRYPT; next I read this https://ega-archive.org/content.php?node=1982&class=docs_req#about but it looks like EgaDemoClent.jar has been removed; the third thing https://www.ebi.ac.uk/training/online/courses/ega-quick-tour/get-help-and-support-on-ega/ was not really that helpful.

Do I need to write my own java code in order to decrypt these files? The helpdesk is so slow!

Thank you, let me know your thoughts on the matter please!
