My suggestion is:

1.- Monitor the download process,
2.- If is not present, I supose it has finished
3.- Then I try to unrar the file

1.-
Code:
while [ 1 ] ; do
  ps | grep "download_process" || break
  sleep 60
done

2 exists only as a condition
3 depend on your tools, maybe something like gunzip downloadedFile.gz, but rar is not familiar to me on unix systems
