Treehouse patch doesn't appear to work

When trying to install the treehouse patch with this curl command:

treehouse ~ $ curl -L trhou.se/path01 | bash

I get the following error:

  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  
Current

I'm not quite sure if I'm doing something wrong or this is a bug.

You have the wrong URL. It's trhou.se/patch01, not path01. It's displaying that error because bash is trying to parse the HTML error page served by Bittly.
