Check blocks from an FEC-encoder (Freenet, more specifically).

   The problem is that the design I'm working on won't guarantee what
order the blocks will be returned in -- so I need to be able to seek to
block n's location and write the ckeck block. Next block could be m,
where m < n. So, they aren't continous.
