  size=$(($2 * 1024))
fi
  file=$1
  rarfile=${file%.*}_your-site.com.${file##*.}.rar
  rar a -m0 -v"$size"k $rarfile $1
  echo $rarfile >> rarNupload.log

if [ $2 ]; then
part=1
while [ $part -le 10 ]
do
    if [ -f ${file%.*}_your-site.com.${file##*.}.part$part.rar ];
    then
       echo "Uploading" ${file%.*}_your-site.com.${file##*.}.part$part.rar "to RS"
        perl rsapiresume.pl ${file%.*}_your-site.com.${file##*.}.part$part.rar col rsUserName rsPassword
       echo "Uploading" ${file%.*}_your-site.com.${file##*.}.part$part.rar "to HF"

        rm ${file%.*}_your-site.com.${file##*.}.part$part.rar
    else
       echo "File $FILE does not exists"
    fi
part=`expr $part + 1`
done
else
  echo "Uploading" $rarfile "to RS"
    perl rsapiresume.pl $rarfile col rsUserName rsPassword
  echo "Uploading" $rarfile "to HF"
    curl -T $rarfile ftp.hotfile.com --user HFUsername:hfpassword
