Scoop: Timeout whilst download causes installation to break

[thebigsmileXD]

I ran
iwr -useb get.scoop.sh | iex
in powershell. After a while i got a timeout because my internet just acts up sometimes.

I believe I've also had this issue due to hitting the GitHub API limit. After that, in my terminal window, any further attempts to invoke scoop failed silently. I opened a new terminal, and got no scoop installation at all:

PS C:\Users\Gordon> scoop search 7zip
scoop : The term 'scoop' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check
the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

+ scoop search 7zip
+ ~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (scoop:String) [], ParentContainsErrorRecordException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

I tried reinstalling in the new window, and Scoop is detected as installed:

As reccomended in other issues, I tried deleting the contents of the scoop directory and reinstalling, and this resulted in an error and scoop still missing:

PS C:\Users\Gordon> set-executionpolicy remotesigned -s currentuser
PS C:\Users\Gordon> iex (new-object net.webclient).downloadstring('https://get.scoop.sh')
