Is either server an exchange server? Exchanges information store (by
design) appears to gobble memory, but it is designed to use as many
resources as it can, and relinquish them when it sees extensive page
file activity (swapping).
There are ways to limit it, but you're better off leaving it alone...

Something is leaking memory on your server. AFAIK, some of the memory is
being used as a cache when transferring files, after a while, as the
memory fills up, there is less and less memory available for the cache,
thus the performance decreasing. At least this is how I percieve this
sort of memory problems.
Did you apply all relevant service packs and patches?
If I were you, I'd get Prcess Explorer from Sysinternals, and check the
the apps and services running over a few days, and see what, if any, of
them is hogging RAM.
For example I run a diskdefragger called Perfect Disk that is a known
leaker - it starts out at some 12MB and finishes after a week at approx
80-120MB, at which point you may or may not be able to restart the
service and make the problem go away, or the computer may just die,
frozen.
I've also seen something similar to your problem after installing a
gigabit NIC in one server. Copying from server to workstation is mostly
fine with speed ranging from 10 to 170MBps. From workstation to server
rarely works, except if the server is newly rebooted (and it's RAM
mostly unused). The server is underpowered for a gb-NIC with a 1200MHz
Athlon and 512MB RAM, while the workstation is a Athlon XP 3000+ (approx
2200MHz) with 1GB RAM - my understanding is that the server can't keep
up with the workstation.
HTH.

There might be something wrong with the networking setting between one
win2003 server and another win2000 server.
Once the win2003 is reboot, the file copying from 2003 to 2000 is quite
fast and the rate might go up to 80% of 100MB internal network
connection.
But after few days or few weeks, such transferring rate might drop to 5%
or 1% of 100MB without any error notifications. And then we reboot 2003
server again, the transferring rate goes back to 80% as normal.
And this win2000 server is working well with other xp and win2000
servers.
What's going on there?
