Why "metastink" {or "fetidstink" !} ??

Why do a large number of postings refer to "MetaLink" as "MetaStink" (or "fetidstink") ?
The only problem I have with MetaLink is that patch downloads fail mid-way
[yes, this is

a "stink" problem particularly when I have downtime on the server but don't have a patch ready !].

Let's be gracious and use the proper name "MetaLink".

[yeah, Larry could be "God Larry" or "King Larry"].

Comments / brickbats [/boquets] anyone ?
