Whenever I download a torso, I put it into my add-ons folder, but its never in the game... HELP!

Torso? Elaborate. No one can help if they don't know what you're asking for help with.

Im pretty sure he is reffering to the body decals you can download.

Exactly

Remember, the file you're putting in your Add-Ons folder should be a .zip, not a .png or any kind of picture file.

You need to elaborate on how you're downloading the decal there, if that doesn't help.

O wait, how do I convert a .png to a .zip?

You don't, the maker of the decal should have done that.

This is how you do it, anyway...
What you have to do is put the .png into a .zip file (if you don't know how, don't bother trying to package decals until you learn) along with a "thumbs" folder. Within the thumbs folder you need to have a smaller (thumbnail size) .png for use in the avatar GUI.
I don't remember the size specs for decals or their thumbnails. It's probably 256x256 and 64x64 or something.

If you're making your own:

1. Make a 256x256 decal, save to desktop.
2. Resize to 64x64, make folder called "thumbs" on desktop, save to folder.
3. Make .zip file. Name "Decal_X", replacing X with what you want to call it.
4. Put large decal and thumbs folder into .zip file.
5. Move/Copy to Add-ons.
