On which channel did you have this P2P group that p2p_find
type=progressive did not find? How long did you keep that
type=progressive case running?

p2p_find runs a full scan first followed by the more limited (social
channels only) discovery phase. p2p_find type=progressive skips the full
scan in the beginning to speed up discovery on social channels, but
unlike type=social, it goes through non-social channels one at a time.
This will take longer time to complete scan of all channels, but it will
find new groups that are started on non-social channels during the
p2p_find operation unlike p2p_find without any parameters.
