Hey!!!
I know exactly what your problem is then!! You need to go into the
Mime prefs from V�, and reset the download path for lzx files *There*.
You could actually turn off X-Arc from Mime, and just have it download
then unarchive it later. Sometimes, I've found that servers will send
the wrong Mime type on LZX files, so to fix this go to the settings
menu and put a check on the "Ignore Server Sent Mime Types"

I think what I mentioned above will cure most if not all of your
problems. If you really want X-Arc to work right the most often, let
V� determine the Mime type, instead of the server (that's how I have
it set up). Otherwise, fool with your Mime prefs and have LZX files
just save to some download directory without viewing it with X-Arc!
