Attempts to update addons to older versions

The Minion client will scan and ask to update addons to versions that are older than the currently installed. For example my Archy addon is at version 6.1.0.11, the client attempts to "update" to 6.1.0.10.

The likely cause is that for some reason WoWInterface is not furnished with the latest versions of certain addons for some reason.

The previous is the case for 7 of my Addons. It's not an issue that renders the client unusable, it just reduces the usefulness greatly.

This is the case for 20 of my AddOns and the reason why I can't use Minion for WoW

If you have addons that are more regularly updated on Curse than here, then you can always right-click the addon and tell Minion to ignore it.

How about letting Minion check the date/time when the files were changed instead of the version numbers?

And if it checks for Version numbers then it shoud prefere the ## X-Curse-Packaged-Version: .
E.g. BigWigs has Curse-Packaged-Version r12986-release on the addon pages but the its version number is 4.822.
Also there is no refresh button so when I updated some addons with curse already Minion dosen't see it and trys to update BigWigs from 4.818 to r12986.

Software versions are not computer readable. They dont follow rules.

What Software versions are you talking about? The ## X-Curse-Packaged-Version is a added to the toc file only for the Curse client.
