Well, you will never, _never_, *never*, N.E.V.E.R. commit that error again to 
start MIRA without redirecting the output to some file, will you? ;-) It might 
have been extremely helpful here.

Looks fine.

It does not tell you how many reads are left atm ... and you have at least a 
further 4 passes to go. I'm sorry for being so brutal, but forgat that assembly 
run.

Holy crap! You put in an entire lane of HiSeq for MIRA? That's 3 to 5 times 
more the amount of reads I currently feel comfortable to recommend MIRA for. 
Can you please tell how big the genome is you're trying to assemble (or what 
type? bacterium, lower or higher eukaryote, bacterial metagenome, etc.pp)? That 
might give me a couple of clues.
