Best Way To Grab All Ncbi Protein Sequences For A Specific Taxonomic Query?

I would like to retrieve all of the NCBI protein sequences that belong to a specific taxonomic query, or children of that query. For example, I want to get every protein sequence belonging to the family 'Elephantidae' that is on NCBI.

I'm a bit frustrated, because I can easily use the taxonomic browser to get to the family Elephantidae, but now I want to download all sequences belonging to this family, but can't seem to figure out how.

All suggestions welcome!

Good call, thanks for pointing that out... found my answer there.

Good, we should close this as a duplicate then. Just tried but got the message about having to comment first, although I had written the comment...
