Is It Possible To Use Blast+ To Hit Embl Database?

I am having nightmare in using NCBI-BLAST+ for last two weeks. Now blasting remote database became very slow irrespective of my computer or my internet connectivity speed. I am thinking to use EMBL-EST database instead of NCBI-EST database as an alternative. Is it possible to hit EMBL-EST database using BLAST+ tool? Specifying organism specific database like est_others will really increase the speed?
Many thanks!
