There is an extensive API for the ensembl data, but it's a bit of a learning curve.
Perhaps this is an easier way to get at their sixway primate alignment:
Main site http://www.ensembl.org/index.html
-> links to http://www.ensembl.org/downloads.html
-> links to http://www.ensembl.org/info/data/ftp/index.html
There, the EMF link leads to:
ftp://ftp.ensembl.org/pub/release-66/emf/ensembl-compara/epo_6_primate
+/
(chromosome 11 is there, too)
The emf format is explained in a readme in that directory.
(if you prefer to get your stuff via the urls, make sure you give ample waiting times between the retrievals (i.e.: sleep 20, or whatever duration ensembl requests: it will be in their API's documentation ) or you risk being banned from ensembl servers.)
(BTW, it's EnsEMBL, without the -e. See EMBL)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
