Hi Abdu,

You'll find a lot of usefull information in the user guide: 
http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsug_html/

In a nutshell...
Add a column to display the packete length(bytes)
Edit - Preferences - User interface - Columns
Select : New
Properties:
Title: change the title to Length
Format: select Packete length(bytes)
Apply - OK


Use capture and/or display filters.
http://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureFilters
http://wiki.wireshark.org/DisplayFilters

You can use a capture filter to capture only http traffic
Capture - Option - Capture filter
select: Filter name: HTTP TCP port (80)  Filter string: tcp port http

You can use filters to capture traffic to/from specific host:
capture filter:
to/from: host 192.168.100.44
to: dst host 192.168.100.44
from: src host 192.168.100.44

display filter:
to/from : ip.addr == 192.168.100.44 
to : ip.dst == 192.168.100.44
from : ip.src == 192.168.100.44


While capturing you for instance can look at:
Analyze - Expert Info Composite
Statistics - Conversations

In the "Conversations Window" you can right-click on a 
interesting conversation to apply a filter.

Hope this helps
Joan
