That's another problem, I'm afraid; it's been discussed either here or
on the MPro or Hermes lists, and Alan Wrigley knows about it and is on
the case, but so far baffled. It happens when a big message is being
debatched, and happens whether or not MPro is running.

That's the correct way of dealing with it, at least till Alan comes up
with a fix. I have wondered whether having NetFetch, MPro and NewsDir
together on the SSD as opposed to the main USB stick would solve this
problem, but I'm told with authority that this wouldn't make any
difference.

On my ARMini I can see the LED on the main USB stick through the
grille on the right side of the machine, which is, as you say, useful.
With best wishes,
Peter.
