This is the error message I get if I have aria-2 installed and enabled.

I suggest removing this app altogether. Chocolatey and PortableApps' version of WhatsApp is suffering from the same problem. No one seems to have figured out how to produce a portable version of the latest version of WhatsApp. We might as well remove it, no?

[cfvescovo]

I agree with @cowwoc: since only the new version of the app from the Microsoft Store will be maintained, we should remove Whatsapp from scoop
