 ## Multi-connection downloads with `aria2`

 Scoop can utilize [`aria2`](https://github.com/aria2/aria2) to use multi-connection downloads. Simply install `aria2` through Scoop and it will be used for all downloads afterward.

 ## What sort of apps can Scoop install?

-The apps that install best with Scoop are commonly called "portable" apps: i.e. compressed program files that run stand-alone when extracted and don't have side-effects like changing the registry or putting files outside the program directory.
+The apps that are most likely to get installed fine with Scoop are those referred to as "portable" apps. These apps are compressed files which can run standalone after being extracted. This type of apps does not produce side effects like changing the Windows Registry or placing files outside the app directory.

-Since installers are common, Scoop supports them too (and their uninstallers).
-
-Scoop is also great at handling single-file programs and Powershell scripts. These don't even need to be compressed. See the [runat](https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Main/blob/master/bucket/runat.json) package for an example: it's really just a GitHub gist.
