How do you use Wireshark?

[Rakehellion]

I'm trying to capture packets from a website.

How to you un-gzip the responses?
Is there a way to get all traffic in a single chunk instead of separate packets?

If there's a packet sniffing tool that's easier to use, I'm all for that.

for web traffic, i use fidder2. wireshark isn't really good for that.

If you want to capture and analyze which traffic sources are accessing your website then Wireshark is great at it. You need to install it between the web server and the network access (the Internet router for example).
