Just start your client up again. If you have all the files, it should check 
them against the .torrent file, and once they're verified, you will be a 
seed.

Of course, at the moment, figuring out whether you have "the files" is kind of 
tricky, but if what you've got matches the md5sum on the web page, you should 
match Paul Iodinisi's Torrent. (Which seems to be down at the moment I write 
this, but for future reference...)
