Sounds to me like you hooked up either the battery or the jumper cables incorrectly; I'd guess you've now fried one or more of the fusible links over at the starter relay area, give 'em a tug and see if they come apart.

If your cables are getting hot they could be deteriorated. Like I said earlier in this thread, replace your cables. There is nothing as sweet as a working ignition system. If you have a good battery, good alternator and good starter and solenoid, the only thing left are the cables and ignition switch. Cables ALWAYS look good from the outside but if you rip off the insulation they are deteriorated. Bad cable will cause excessive heat buildup across the remaining good copper strands. The excessive heat will quickly deteriorate what is left of the cable.
