I recently announced our database TRANSFAC which also includes a set
of consensus sites in its SITES table, mainly based upon the 
Faisst & Meyer compilation in NAR 20, 3-26 (1992). The consensus
sites can be identified through their ID (<factor name>$cons) or
by the word "consensus" in the description field (DE).
Try the ftp site ftp.gbf-braunschweig.de (IP 193.175.244.2).

Hope this helps.
