The removed assertions are appropriate for a download that seeks to
return plaintext to a caller; if we don't have at least k active remote
shares, then we can't hope to do that. They're not appropriate for a
verification operation; a user can try to verify a file that has fewer
than k shares available, so that shouldn't be treated as an error.
Instead, we proceed with fewer than k shares, and ensure that we
terminate the download if we have no shares at all and we're verifying.
