The filtering is quite flexible and the man page is quite extensive. I'm sure you'll figure it out :-) tcpdump is more than capable of what you need for this purpose and it comes standard with Ubuntu.

sudo tcpdump -i eth0 -A -s 0 host http://www.alexa.com > dumpfile.txt

-A dumps the packets in ASCII
-s 0 dumps the entire packet
-i eth0 is your network interface… you may need to change this to suit your machine.

host http://www.alexa.com is a filter so you only capture the packets you actually want but you can leave it off if you want. The filtering is quite flexible and the man page is quite extensive. I’m sure you’ll figure it out :-)
