why is Firefox Nightly always doing the same Update 10.0a1 (2011-10-30) every two days???
you nightly version is always doing a repeat of the following Update: (Version 10.0a1 (2011-10-30) almost every two days. The update is applied correct and status has been given.

If you continue to Test the Nightly channel builds then next week this time will probably have the version number itself change to 11.0a1after move/merge on the channels.
The 64-bit builds on Windows are still only Tier-2 builds so they are not as much of a priority as regular builds. One of the main reasons for these builds are for to help catch breakage as it is possible to break the 64-bit but not 32-bit builds. Originally it was just Linux nightlies that had 64-bit builds (over three years ago) as they were only really for to test breakage and such.

? there hasn't been two days past since the Oct 30 update, so I'm not sure what happened. I've seen some respins lately, so you may have seen more than one update on a day. That is quite normal and no cause for worrying. You can always check the build date on the Help > Troubleshooting page to verify that you did get a newer version.

Are you saying it is giving the same update date each time or that you get a update prompt each day or two.
The Nightly is a bleeding edge channel that gets checkins pretty much each day so as a result there is a new update each day and sometimes a respin update the same day.
that´s what I´m saying, its always the same update, each time nightly installs the same damn version. The problem here, its updated always to v. 10.0a1, and if it would be different updates, then the number should change or is Firefox using the same version number for each update? That would be pretty sick would´nt it?

The Nightly builds and the Aurora builds are test versions that are updated each day to get the latest patches. The version number only changes if there is a need to do that. It is the build date that you see on the Troubleshooting page that determines the version with daily updated test builds as I wrote above.
If you do not want to update each day then stay on the release channel or the beta channel.
ok, thats new to me. I always use Firefox and this is the only 64bit version available, thanks for explaining
