Some Scoop variants included packet spoofing (.spoof) that faked upload speeds. A cheater could appear to upload at 10 MB/s on a 56k modem. This led to "Scoop wars" where scripts detected and banned spoofers.

| Limitation | Workaround |
|------------|-------------|
| mIRC’s installer may require GUI for first-time registration | Use scoop install mirc --no-update-scoop to avoid interactive prompts. The #/dl.7z method typically extracts silently. |
| Some DLLs or OCX controls may need registration | mIRC is largely self-contained; no extra registration required. |
| URL hash changes with each version | hash in manifest must be updated manually or via scoop hash before committing. For autoupdate, omit hash or use autoupdate.hash. |
| 7‑zip extraction may fail if the EXE uses a non‑standard packer | Test with 7z t mirc777.exe. If fails, switch to #/dl and use innounp or msiexec extraction. |
