Problem with "DownloadData" method of WebClient.

Can't figure out why my code's not passing muster with the C# Streams and Data Processing quiz. Complete code should be attached - let me know if it's not showing up for some reason. The relevant lines are:

 using (var webClient = new WebClient())
             {
                 byte[] treehouseBytes = webClient.DownloadData("https://www.teamtreehouse.com/");
             }

This code gets the error:

  Bummer: Did you pass the url "https://www.teamtreehouse.com" into the 'DownloadData' method?

Task 2 of "WebClient" quiz: https://teamtreehouse.com/library/c-streams-and-data-processing/streaming-data-on-the-net/webclient

Program.cs 
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Net;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(GetTreehouseHome());
        }

        public static string GetTreehouseHome()
        {
            string treehouse = "";

            using(var webClient = new WebClient())
            {
                   byte[] treehouseBytes = webClient.DownloadData("https://www.teamtreehouse.com/");
            }

            return treehouse;
        }
    }
}

Remove the forward slash at the end so it is just "https://www.teamtreehouse.com"
