NCBI makes all of their blastable databases (including all of their
protein databases, such as nr.Z) available in FASTA format. 
See the README for details.

ftp://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/db/README

GenPept (all of the CDS present in GenBank) is also available 
in FASTA format:

ftp://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genbank/genpept.fsa.Z

or:

ftp://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genbank/GENBANK.gz/genpept.fsa.gz

cheers,
