Via FTP - from that "currentGenomes" directory follow "Homo_sapiens" then in the "bigZips" directory there's an 800+MB file called "hg18.2bit" which contains the whole sequence in (as you might have guessed) 2 bit format

I got there from here.

Here's a description of the 2bit format, and some Perlmonger has written a parser.
