 Considering that I chose to separate the content:

-Archive Scripts: Scripts that will download everything that was created before December 31, 2019 (included).
+Archive Scripts: Scripts that will download everything that was created before December 31 of the previous year, inclusive. For example, if the current date is any day between 2021-01-01 and 2021-12-31, everything created up to and including 2020-12-31 will be downloaded.

-Active Scripts: Scripts that will download everything that was created after January 1, 2020 (included).
+Active Scripts: Scripts that will download everything that was created after January 1 of the current year, inclusive. For example, if the current date is 2021-02-02, everything created between and during the dates 2021-01-01 and 2021-02-02 will be downloaded.

 These dates will need to be incremented every year January 1 and the content created by the active scripts will need to be moved to the archive (including the `archive.log` that will need to be merged).
