I dump flow-capture'ed flows to
10 minute files or so, like this:

interval=10 ;# minutes
rotations=`expr 24 \* 60 / $interval - 1`

flow-capture -c 5 \
        -n $rotations \
        -E $max_usage \
        -p $router_dir/$label.pid \
        -w $router_dir \
        $dst/$src/$port

This won't help with your current huge
files, but would produce more manageable
files in the future.
