If the battery leads got warm you were pulling some serious current. Try wiring a 55W headlight bulb in series with the negative earth lead and see if it glows bright. If it does leave it connected and start disconnecting things, probably the alternator as that's where you were working. When the light goes out you found your short. You are sure the battery is correctly connected right? Earth strap to negative, never hurts to double check.
