Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] wireshark dropping packets? wireshark for xandros?

hello i use wireshark 1.0.4. i'm not a experienced user, so pls excuse my basic questions.

i notice lately that if i am downloading or uploading (via ftp) a large file, like a video, wireshark will show only the packets of the downloading or uploading. if i happen to visit some webpages while downloading or uploading, the traffic for visiting these webpages won't register or show at all in my wireshark. is this normal? does wireshark drop other packets when it's too busy with one connection?

another question: i recently bought a eeepc 900 with linux xandros on it. where to get a wireshark for this linux version? which depository? can someone help me out?

thanks so much. any help will be really appreciated.
