The name of the file you want to download is posted as plain text in your http-header. Also your search requests are plain text.

Network sniffers provide for filters, that can be used to filter out specific packets, - for example http-requests that have a destination port other than port 80 & 8080. A few packet sniffers even recognize gnutella messages and can show them easily.
