That's not a good idea, IMHO.
It's risky. I can be used as Plan C, not even B.

Plan A: we must have a very stable server where we can host the ISO.
Plan B: we need a mirror.
Plan C: torrent.

If you're happy to deal with him, that's your choice. You can use his
server as a mirror. Our main hosted ISO must be somewhere else with less
chances of such failure. I don't want our users to face such issue again. I
know from the technical side it happens. The Q is: how long it needs to be
fixed? here comes the real challenge. I can't monitor the links 24/7. So,
we need alternatives.
