What we actually implemented:

SSK@<pk>/<name>/<index>/<subpart>

Index increases over time. Subpart is 0...5. Each index is a FEC chunk
distributed over the 6 subparts. So we try to fetch all six. When we
have 4, we decode. Of course this means gratuitous redirects - 12 files
inserted per index chunk. The better option is to use a manifest - 7
files per index chunk. Even better would be to include some of the
previous chunks' manifests in the manifest, for some redundancy.
