I suggest you to use some mechanism to communicate to that ksh script about the completion of download.

Or else, check the size or md5sum of the file for the completion.

NAME
md5sum - compute and check MD5 message digest SYNOPSIS
md5sum [OPTION] [FILE]... DESCRIPTION
Print or check MD5 (128-bit) checksums. With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input. -b, --binary read in binary mode -c, --check read MD5 sums from the FILEs and check them -t, --text read in text mode (default) The following two options are useful only when verifying checksums: --status don't output anything, status code shows success -w, --warn warn about improperly formatted checksum lines --help display this help and exit --version output version information and exit The sums are computed as described in RFC 1321. When checking, the input should be a former output of this program. The default mode is to print a line with checksum, a character indicating type (`*' for binary, ` ' for text), and name for each FILE. AUTHOR
