+<h2>How to get data for bug reports</h2>
+
+<ol>
+<li>Reproduce the network problem.</li>
+<li>Click the <i>Dump to file</i> button in the <i>Data</i> tab.</li>
+
+<li>The log file will act like a normal download.</li>
+
+<li>Email the log file to the bug investigator,
+ <b>along with an explanation of what went wrong, including any relevant
+ URLs.</b>
+ You may want to compress the file before sending, as the log files can be
+ fairly large but compress well.
+</li>
+
+</ol>
+
+
+<ul>
+<li>The network log <b>may contain personally identifying information</b> like
+ IP addresses, URLs, and cookies.</li>
+<ul>
+<li>You can edit the log to obscure information if you like, but sometimes it
+ is relevant to the bug. If you choose do this, please make sure you can still
+ load the log file.</li>
+<li>If you choose not to have cookies removed from the log, you must toggle
+ the checkbox before clicking the button.</li>
+</ul>
+<li>Ideally you would have the tool running <b>before</b> you reproduce the
+ bug.
+ If that isn't possible (perhaps the bug happens unpredictably), then the
+ next best thing is to load chrome://net-internals/ <b>as soon as you can
+ after</b> the problem has occurred.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2>How it works</h2>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>While the net-internals page is open, it will capture the network events
+ that are happening in Chrome. You can view that in real-time by going to
+ the <i>Events</i> tab.</li>
+ <li>Once you close the net-internals window, the data it had captured will be
+ discarded.</li>
+<li>Chrome keeps around a small buffer of the most recent network events
+ even when the net-internals window is not open. That way if you open
+ chrome://net-internals/ <b>shortly after</b> encountering a problem,
+ you may still find the relevant data.
+ These <i>passively captured</i> events are less accurate however, and will
+ be prefixed in the log with <span style="font-family: monospace;">(P)</span>.
+</li>
+</ul>
