Brute Force / Password Cracking

About 6 months ago i but some files in a .7z file. Encrypted with 7-zip AES-256. I have a ruff idea of what the password is say for example how many special characters and it has the word "The" in. Also i know where the numbers in the password and ruffly how many numbers it could be between. What program or what could i use to crack this? Some sort of brute force that tries passwords rather than hashing? I'm probably just doing capitals in the wrong place for example but there are over 400 or 500 ways the capitals could go for example. Any faster way of completing this? Also the file is 18GB big so after entering a password i have to wait 15 minutes for it to extract between trying each password since it only tells me the password is wrong at the end of the extraction.
