"NUS" is actually on N64 cartridges.

NES cartridges are "NES". Super Nintendo cartridges are "SNS". Gamecube discs are "DOL". I guess because of that old code name a long time ago- dolphin. No, not the emulator! and Wii is "RVL" for revolution code name?

So I can't figure out why its called "NUS downloader" :S ???

I'm pretty sure it's called NUS downloader, because it downloads from the NUS Servers. Why the servers are called NUS beats me.

NUS Downloader, or NUSD, is a Windows program designed to allow easy access to the resources present on Nintendo's Update Servers. Using this tool, you can download, pack, and decrypt many system titles into WADs ready to install.

NUS = Nintendo's Update Servers

The original name of the N64 was "Nintendo Ultra Sixty-Four".

So that's why the emulator was named UltraHLE... learn something new every day. :)
