1. A method for robust reception of data by one or more processing modules of one or more computing devices, the method comprises: receiving encoded data slices of a random order of encoded data slices, wherein each encoded data slice of the random order of encoded data slices has a unique slice name such that the random order of encoded data slices has a corresponding plurality of slice names, and wherein an encoded data slice error rate corresponds to a number of data segments per data partition and a transmit number minus a decode threshold number; interpreting the corresponding plurality of slice names to de-randomize the random order of encoded data slices into a plurality of sets of transmit encoded data slices, wherein the plurality of sets of transmit encoded data slices corresponds to a plurality of sets encoded data slices, wherein the plurality of sets of encoded data slices is a dispersed storage error encoded version of a collection of data segments of a data portion of a plurality of data portions of the data, wherein one of the plurality of sets of transmit encoded data slices includes the transmit number of encoded data slices of a total number of encoded data slices of a corresponding one of the plurality of sets of encoded data slices; and on a set by set basis and in accordance with a dispersed storage error encoding function: determining whether the decode threshold number of encoded data slices of a set of transmit encoded data slices of the plurality of sets of transmit encoded data slices have been received; when the decode threshold number of encoded data slices have not yet been received, determining whether a sufficient number of encoded data slices of the set of transmit encoded data slices are still to be received; when the sufficient number of encoded data slices are still to be received, waiting until the decode threshold number of encoded data slices are received; and when the decode threshold number of encoded data slices are received, decoding the decode threshold number of encoded data slices to recapture a corresponding data segment of the collection of data segments.
