I just tried wireshark 1.4.6 and it shows the same bandwidth for a capped and
non-capped file (I used an uncapped file and capped it with editcap).

So if you see different results, it's because the content of the files is
really different in other ways.

Could you capture the traffic of a transfer of 10MB twice (once with snaplength
128 and once with full frames) and then post the output of "capinfos <files>"
here?
