How to customize the aria2 path in Scoop?

[brucmao]

I want to use my own aria2 configuration.
My aria2 installation path is located at d:\Personal\totalcmd\Tools\aria2\aria2c.exe

This needs modification in the lib/core.ps1 file, specifically here: https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Scoop/blob/develop/lib/core.ps1#L340, to return the location of aria2c.exe based on Get-Command's output. Would you like to work on it?

Modifying the source code might be too difficult for me. My main goal is to use the Aria2 RPC protocol and monitor the download progress of scoop using a Chrome browser extension.

Using the default config file for aria2 should work - unless it has been specifically disabled in scoop's build, but I don't think so..

The config file for aria2 is:

%userprofile%\.aria2\aria2.conf

The Aria2 that comes with SCOOP does not have a configuration file called aria2.conf.

You can create one yourself

@brucmao Yes, that's normal. No program like aria2 is distributed with a config file.

You always have to create the file first or copy the config file from someone else to use and make some changes.

Config file usually means: It's a location/path of a file that a program (like aria2c) checks if it is existing, and only if it exists (and is accessible) the program instructs the usual facilities to read and process that config file.
