Wait until your torrent client shows 0 peers, then wait some more to see if anyone else joins again, then wait for it to show 0 peers again, until you're sure no-one else needs it.

You don't need to 're-seed' anything. If anything that you've got already is still active, just open it up in your torrent program, and let other folks access it.
Thanks for the help. I have some shows on my hard drive that are still active (as in not orphaned) and when I try to open them in my torrent program it begins to download them again. the orphaned shows that need torrents begin seeding right away. Why is that?
