yay :)
something's fucked up in the 3rd line :-/ backspace the third column!
also, apparently it's an IT file renamed to .xm, so only the last line mentioning the format is correct. :)
I suppose it's actually an XM->IT conversion (for whatever reason), but probably not a good one since the auto-vibrato is disabled on all instruments (a sweep rate of 0 in XM means "no sweep", while in IT it means "no vibrato").

I think that problem only exists in this post, and since you can't edit in Pouët.. ;) It's fine on the site. But format is obviously not IT either.
Here's what I made the cover look like for Bandcamp:

raina: the downloaded file is definitely an XM resaved in Schism Tracker (IT format), and just by looking at the patterns and after explaning the differences between vibrato sweep in IT and XM, I'm sure it sounds completely wrong. :)
Aww man, what? I did notice the file date had changed from what I have, but my weekend was so busy I didn't get to actually check the module. It sounds very broken indeed. @ellen_page, we should have another go at this.
all is fixed! sorry for the terrible deployment!
Yeah, it still isn't. And let's put it out here in the open because never have I needed to contact a dude so badly and have it prove so hard at the same time. As of this writing:
http://datamask.me/data_mod/data_0006/endwhile.xm is broken (used to be ok).
http://datamask.me/data_zipped/data_0006.zip is still broken.
http://datamask.me/data_mod/data_0006/data_0006.zip is ok but misplaced, i.e. not linked on the site. That zip should have gone to data_zipped, I think.
The original module is dated June 1st, weighs in at 122285 bytes and compresses better than the IT-mangled one. Good zip: ~45k, bad zip: ~66k. Here is my submission once again, http://raina.kapsi.fi/stuff/endwhile.xm, if it would help.
And with that, I'm just about done with this. After two weeks of actively trying to get this fixed with next to no feedback and after another two weeks of summer vacationing and seeing it still isn't, I feel mentally exhausted. I still think you have a cool thing here but I think you need to really focus on what you are doing and work on your communication. At least, that is what I needed from you.

it is now completely fixed, i don't know when the last time you checked it was but i've completely reuploaded everything related to the release. i apologize for me being so hard to contact but it's been a weird summer so far.
i'm still really not sure how i managed to fuck it up again after the first time you told me it was a mess, i had made a new data_0006 folder and zip with the .xm and better art you had forwarded me. possibly a problem with my method of transferring files to coax's server i host the site on.
I checked before posting and the situation seemed unchanged from two weeks ago. But now indeed, it seems to be in order. Thank you and thanks to Saga Musix for spotting the problem originally.
hmm, that's cute… I mean, all the sweat.
