Here's my chance to put in a plug for my favorite network utility:
good old ngrep. You can do amazing stuff with ngrep if you want, but
I normally just use it as an instant cli packet sniffer by typing
'ngrep' (as root) and then watch the packets whiz by on my terminal.
I took a peek with ngrep and also with wireshark but it's still not obvious whether compression is actually being used. My connection to supernews is SSL enabled so all I see is nntps traffic. That's why some visual feedback would be helpful. I believe that it IS using compression but I can't prove it.
