Hi Carsten and Thomas,

Another option for converting from psl format (which is what the SQL 
dump download consists of for the EST tracks) to BED format is the 
command line tool pslToBed, available as part of the Genome Browser 
source tree:

http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/admin/jksrc.zip

instructions for building from source are here (note that you do not 
need to do every step if you are only building this tool):

http://genome.ucsc.edu/admin/jk-install.html

Also note the instructions on the download page for alternatives to http 
access for downloading large files.  The xenoEst file for hg19 is 1.2 Gb.
