1. A method for robust reception of data by one or more processing modules including processing hardware, the method comprises: as encoded data slices of a random order of encoded data slices are received: determining, via the processing hardware, whether an encoded data slice error rate has been reached, 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 mathematical function of a number of data segments per data partition, a transmit number, a decode threshold number, and a total number of encoded data slices per set of encoded data slices; when the encoded data slice error rate has not been reached: interpreting, via the processing hardware, a slice index, a segment indicator, and a collection indicator of the corresponding plurality of slice names to determine the random order and 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 of 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, via the processing hardware, 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, via the processing hardware, whether a sufficient number of encoded data slices of the set of transmit encoded data slices are still to be received based on the determined random order and the de-randomizing of the random order of encoded data slices; when the sufficient number of encoded data slices are still to be received, waiting, via the processing hardware, until the decode threshold number of encoded data slices are received; and when the decode threshold number of encoded data slices are received, decoding, via the processing hardware, the decode threshold number of encoded data slices to recapture a corresponding data segment of the collection of data segments.
