+    Station Selection:
+        If no station filters are specified, downloads ALL stations.
+        Use data_sources, campaign_names, and station_names to filter stations.
+        Filters work together to narrow down the selection (AND logic).
+        Only stations with a ``disdrodb_data_url`` in their metadata will be downloaded.
+
+    \b
+    Download Behavior:
+        For webserver/FTP-hosted data:
+            - Incremental downloads: Fetch only new files when they become available
+            - Existing files on disk are skipped unless '--force True' is used
+
+        For repository-hosted data (e.g., Zenodo):
+            - Use '--force True' to download new versions when available
+            - Without '--force True', download is skipped if data already exists locally
+
+    \b
+    Download Options:
+        --force: Removes existing raw data files and forces complete re-download (default: False)
+        Warning: All existing station data will be deleted before re-downloading
+
+    \b
+    Archive Directories:
+        --data_archive_dir: Custom path to DISDRODB data archive
+        --metadata_archive_dir: Custom path to DISDRODB metadata archive
+        If not specified, paths from the active DISDRODB configuration are used
+
+    \b
+    Examples:
+        # Download all stations with available download URLs
+        disdrodb_download_archive
+
+        # Download all stations from specific data sources
+        disdrodb_download_archive --data_sources 'EPFL NASA'
+
+        # Download specific campaigns and force re-download
