http://www.winpt.org/opencdk.html is the URL and I tested it one
minute ago. It works. If you can't reach the site, try ftp.gnutls.org/pub
there you can download the tarball.

Public key algorithms are not useful to encrypt large portions of data.
I guess you use a symmetric session key to encrypt the data and then
you protect the session key with the asymmetric key. If this is not
what you want, I don't understand what you're trying.
